Hola Muchachos!
So today after many months of waiting for my Hermanns hatch out of the ground; I decided to dig them out. I didn't expect much; especially after hitting a rotten egg! (My fingers still smell). To my surprise a lil guy came running out of the hole; I thought it was a potato bug. Soon after realizing it was a baby tortoise I went inside the house to show everyone what I have found. I came out and found another one! I was ecstatic.... My question is: I thought when tortoises hatch and they absorb their sac they come out of the ground? But these guys are at least 2 weeks old...they even show some growth!
How many eggs do you guys see?
I see 4...the 2 that I found. 1 rotten egg.. maybe another one???
