@Will An overall picture of all the babies:

...and then from right to left. The first two are really last year's babies...two texas tortoises:

Then come the Gopherus agassizii from this year:

Next are the three toe and luteola box turtles (there are more of these, but they bury and I can't find them), the Manouria and the two Yellowfoot:

And last but not least, the leopards. One of them has an extra scute:

The little YF babies are quite feisty. They try to bite me whenever I pick them up.

So cute. The luteola Boxies. Neal just picked up some adults. Did you see his post. The one male of his has a very cool face. You should post a pic of your adults too. Any with a head like his first pictured male?

South of Southern California, but not Mexico
Two (2) yellowfoots, cool.

Now just think if we could legally deal with the native species, overseas, we could populate Europe with them, much like sulcatas and leos here, oh well.

The Manouria is an M.e.p. from Maggie, so half never represented before, ever?

Leo's, shy and beautiful. What a haul for the year. Boxie buyers all lined up.

Is your SA Leopard male the father of these leopard babies?

And why are you soaking 4 different species in the same poopy tub? I thought you didn't approve of mixing species...

The Mep's dam is Medea, the rescue from New York, and the sire, of course, is Darth. I wonder if it would be a good idea to keep the Mep baby and grow it up to see if it's male??

There are 3 or 4 three toe, 4 or 5 gulf coast and 3 or 4 luteola. I can never find all of them at the same time and I forgot to write the numbers down at the time.

No, I have the babcock and SAs in separate yards.

I have those species together in the same habitat. Hopefully no one has anything contagious. Just the chance I'm taking.

No. My luteola adults' pattern is quite muted, and all have normal-colored heads.

Interesting markings on the leopards.

And thanks for the explanation on the other thing.

May I request pics of the adult Luteola sometime. I keep trying to not want these, but the want never seems to go away… :)

Yes, I especially like the one at the bottom right of the picture. (well, and the extra scute, of course!)

I'll see if I can find my luteola. They're really nothing special. Very drab.
