Hieremys annandalii: The story keeps on going! This is the 1st hatchling from the TSA rescues!

Here is an old thread. http://www.tortoiseforum.org/Thread-Growing-Opuntia-Prickly-Pear#axzz1JDoue3aC

Hi Tom; It's been some time since we've talked. "Hatchling Failure Syndrome". I agree with much of what you said but (& I'm sure I'm preaching to the choir here) There is more to it than that. It can also be brought about by an (unrealized) improper incubation program / method. Temp. &...

On the way!
