Egg pipped!

[Fernando]

Awesome!!

He's finally here!

I put him in some water to try to wash off any sand he had stuck to his yolk sac and then put him on damp tissue and stuck him back into incubator for him to absorb the rest of his yolk sac. Is this correct? Is there anything else I should be doing?

Here he is!

 

[Fernando]

Cool!!! how exciting. I wish I could help but I'm still learning about incubation!

 

[dmarcus]

So exciting, he is a good looking tortoise..

 

[DesertGrandma]

He's so tiny and cute

Thanks everyone, he (or she) is quite the active little fella. I assume his shell will straighten over time as his shell hardens? I'm so scared i'll squish him.

Ok, one more! Promise I'll leave him to soak up the rest of his yolk sac in the dark after this haha.

 

[DesertGrandma]

Awwww. Now put him back to bed
