Interesting. For some reason, I would never have guessed Aldabras by seeing the ones hatching out. Like the second shot, where it's like he thinks the world is just a bit too bright.

A lot lighter in color than I would have thought.

Good gracious, there are few things cuter than brand new hatchlings!

They turn grey/black within the first thirty days. I remember way back when we got our first hatchling, I was in shock, thinking I hatched out a sulcata, LOL.

Thanks for sharing. I always wondered how big the eggs were and what the hatchlings looked like. How many eggs are in a clutch?

Our all time highest was 19 and all time lowest was 4. This is going back ever since we started our breeding program. I have a friend that had 22 eggs in one clutch three years ago.

Will you weigh some eggs for us? I have no idea how an Aldabra egg would compare in weight to, for instance, an average 2 ounce large chicken egg.

awe they are so cute. I love the 3rd pic, amazed at how energetic he looks. Pecking your way out of an eggshell I would think would be ALOT of work... lol.

Great pictures, thanks for sharing. I'm still waiting to capture this moment when my hermann's will lay their fertile eggs.
