Hello Everyone,

I just wanted to share the news that I have now hatched three generations of CB Radiated Tortoises (F1, F2, and F3 CB generations). It has taken me quite a while, considering the minimum generation time for the species is close to 12 years. All four grandparents of these babies are different CB offspring of WC adults from the 1960's and 1970's.

Congratulations Bill. Beautiful hatchlings too, but I don't think I've ever seen a Radiated that wasn't. Wonderful species.

Wow. This is amazing. How many animals did you begin with? Are you breeding the offspring with each other?
