MY first ever baby....UPDATED MORE PICS
My first ever hatchling...found it crawling around the incubator all over the other eggs this morning...this is its true dark colour.
This makes it look lighter than it is....

Helen i remember talking to you about a year ago, and you were in two minds weather to hatch some eggs, as you a a true tortoise keeper who just loves keeping tortoises.
But this is another chapter for you and you must be so happy to see that, that little baby would not be here without you. I do hope you carry on

Well done
I sadley missed my first hatchling because i was on holiday, and i did not think they would hatch anyway. We took two cars and my wife locked her keys in her car and i had to do a 150 round trip to pick up the spare keys, when i got home there was my first born walking around the incubator. We had 4 more days left of our holiday and wondered if it would have been OK if i had not come home for the keys. When i had to drive home she was a "stupid woman", when i got back she was'nt so stupid.
