If Chester zoo keeps chipping away, they will get the recognistion it deserves.
How long an incubation was it please Darren? How much does it weigh? And are pancake hatchlings always so dark marked?

Darren, Where are the galapagos torts in chester zoo, i never seem to find them. The only torts i did see where radiated and redfoots, which where unfortunatle mixed together, have you recently changed this? These where in the reptile house.
