Favorite hiding spot

Torterra · 01-07-2012, 03:15 PM

My male is still the shyest of all 3 Baurii I have. When I take them out to clean the tank, he runs for his life and hide. This time he hid so well I had to take him out with his safety pot. He fits perfectly well inside 7cm diameter. No other female could possibly fit in. He sat in there for a while before finally emerging out of it.

More typically they'd bury themselves in wet substrate while basking for long hours in the end, like this:

Nice pictures, 3 striped are a bit mad.

Have you had any more eggs?

Yes we had other 3 eggs, one is looking fertile. This year was experimental I am sure next we will have some hatched. I will try and make a photo of the one which I think is fertile egg, there is a big dark spot inside, and it growing bigger (or it is my imagination).

Nice turts and good luck with the eggs, i have common and loggerhead musk turtle eggs at the moment, its a long wait for them hopefully to hatch
