Hatchling Golden Greek Pictures

[Tccarolina]

I've only been able to find one tortoise nest this summer, although I believe there have been at least two others. I discovered Patty shortly after she laid them, and she lost 102 grams, and laid 4 20 gram eggs. Two of the eggs were infertile, and the other two just hatched after a 68 day incubation.
Do all baby golden greeks have dark rims around the scutes? Will they fade with time, or does this mean these babies are definitely not patternless?

How cute I love golden greek hatchlings!
I think all baby golden greeks do have dark rim scutes. Mine does but hers seem to be fading in different areas.
