My last clutch of Russian Tortoise eggs is finally hatching. This little guy decided to peak out yesterday. Just waiting on his one clutch mate to decide to join him.

I think the orientation of the baby inside the egg is so interesting. All of the Russians hatching seem to be sideways in the shell. My leopards and YF tortoises always pip at the end, and are lengthwise in the egg. And little Russian babies seem to hatch out really wide, while the leopards and YF hatch out longer or oval.

it makes them cuter as they look so fat

How exciting. Hatchlings are so adorable. I am expecting the first clutch of my Russian eggs to start hatching in around a week or so. I love taking care of the hatchlings.
