Their "yolk-sac" is now less than half their head size and virtually flat!

These - Malaclemys terrapin macrospilota - are highly protected in their home state of Florida. As a result there are not many being produced in captivity.

Quite rare and costly as a matter of fact!

I happened to acquire a gravid female that made these babies [ on loan so to speak ] in a small group.. and even tho' she is no longer with me I have hopes in another female that is thriving fine and should lay for us next season.

Ongoing growth progress is forthcoming.. .. if you like?

Thanks ALL .. these are near top of the list of those hatched in the 20++++ years I've been chasing these Chelonians!

So very cool. I hate when the hatching season comes to a close :/ I'm already ready for next year! Lol

 

[terryo]

Yes! Please keep us up-dated on the on going growth progress. I love the DBT, however the Northern's that I had were not half as pretty as these.
