baby tort

[Rainman69]

I adopted a desert tort in may. When i was tending the pen this morning i found this little guy wandering around.

How exciting!!! Your adopted tortoise must be a female and she dug a nest without you knowing. Look for a dime sized hole in the ground and you might find 3 more babies inside. If you can't find the nest, you might find them wandering around in the pen. Hope you find them before the birds do.

How neat. The baby tort looks very bright colored. I guess they get faded as they grow older?

They are so pretty when they are babies then as they age they lose all their color and become a sort of gray...But they have serious regal faces. Look at the one here...

"I need help to identify this beautiful creature".

I don't know how to find a number of the thread I've looked all over and I don't see any numbers, but that's the heading then there's pictures of a beautiful regal adult...

That's just it, I don't have any numbers anywhere on the page...Not up nor down...no numbers anywhere, believe me, I looked carefully...

It's way up to the top, for example for this page it says:

Did you find more of them, Rainman69?
I'd love to see another pix of size comparison to something we can judge like a quarter?

 

[Maggie Cummings]

Hey, it just took me a few minutes to find that "across the top" location too, and I already knew I was technologically handicapped!

Have you found anymore babies?

 

[Rainman69]

Sorry it took so long to reply. I had not seen him for awhile and thought maybe it didn't make it. We had marked it with a small red dot and it is the only one i found. Here's a pic next to a quarter.
