2008 CB Jordanian Greeks

[Meg90]

I was wondering...how far back do most of your CB genes go? Like, are these offspring of CB parents? It doesn't make a difference to me at this point, i still for sure want one of your girls, I was just curious about it, since even now, CB breeders are hard to find.

Can't wait to see more pics of her. I already have a name picked out and everything! (it'll kill me to wait four more months. ) How many eggs are in the usual clutch?

Most of my hatchlings are F1s (first generation CB) Their parents are WC. I've only seen a few CB adults from any of the Middle Eastern greeks and they were males.
I have though bred F2s (second generation CB) from Pancake and Egyptian tortoises.
Clutches are usually 2 or 3 eggs
Here are the new pictures

I'll take her Danny! If I put $100 down (shipping, and deposit) when do you need payment in full? Also, I would really appreciate her hatch date and whatever else you have on her, so I can start a file for her...she's such a little doll!

I really hope we have an early spring--April is a long way off!

Jeeze is she a cutie! I'm printing her pictures so I can show her off to the rest of my family! She's going to be a birthday present to myself I think...

The eggs (a clutch of 2) were laid on July 19th and she hatched on Sept. 24th.

The rest is due before I ship in April.

Just curious...but is there a reason you wait until April? I mean, I couldn't even fathom shipping a baby to WI in this weather (we've had -10 windchill for the last week or so) But I also saw that someone had their leo hatchlings shipped from FL to PA like a few days ago...

I'll get the first payment and shipping to you soon, I will prob send it out on Monday.

Will she be considered a well-started hatchling by April? (just over 6 mos)...

 

[egyptiandan]

Not willing to take chances with my hatchlings. You can write all over a box (Keep Warm) but how do you know that they will keep the box warm. Most likely they sit out on the tarmac after being unloaded from a plane. Heat packs only work as long as temperatures are above freezing. To many things can go wrong at this time of year, so always better to be safe than sorry.
Yes she will be a well started hatchling.

Good! I was starting to worry...I know that hatchlings are fragile, and I'm glad she will be a bit older when I get her (and hopefully a little less fragile)--Its gonna kill me to wait till April...but I can do it.

how big is the average Greek six month old?

 

[Meg90]

My adults have been extremely hardy Maggie. I don't think I've ever had a URI with them. They seem to be able to take any air humidity and temperatures down in the 50's. Not sure how they'd be with cold and damp though. I bring mine in at night if it's going to rain and be under 60F.
Here you go Maggie and Meg

What is the SCL measurement of her mom? (Just curious)

 

[egyptiandan]

She is exactly 6 inches and weighs 930g.

[Meg90]

Wow...only a wee bit bigger than my Nigel...How big is her father (if you know, otherwise...just average would be great! )

I love the pics Danny...I just can't get enough of your Greeks (especially my baby!) I wish my apt was bigger...I would def have more than two torts....

Thanks!

 

[egyptiandan]

Dad is 5 1/4 inches and around 600g.

Thank you and your welcome.

Hi Danny,

Do you have any of your babies left? I have lots of questions so I will probably be emailing you a lot (I hope that's ok!). I'm not picky on whether I get a girl or a boy. (Side note: My son wants a boy so he can name him after Michaelangelo the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle, he's a goof) How much do you need for a deposit? Or do you want the whole payment up front? Thanks, Christina

 

[egyptiandan]

I have 3 left Christina E-mailing or PMing me is just fine with questions.
