Default 2 Marginated Hatchlings.

Hi all,

Have wanted a tortoise for many years and finally my wife and I decided the time was right to take the plunge!

We have now adopted 2 Marginated hatchlings, we were told they will most likely be female (due to incubation temps), but we won't know for sure until they are around 5 years old.

As such, we have named them Tiny Timmy and Bertie!......



Will try and take some better picture soon!


P.S. They do have a slate to eat from, but it's in an awkward place to take a picture!

Thanks

Those pictures were taken just over 3 weeks ago when they arrived (surprised it's been that long already!).

Here are a couple pictures taken today.

P.S. I've been looking through the pictures threads and I believe their birth mother is a member here!
