After years of contemplating and kicking my self for not getting them back in the day when they were 2k per hatchling , I decided to pull the trigger last December and treated my self to a Christmas Gift of two Galapagos hatchlings. The hatchlings arrived December 12th and they were 180 grams each and bright eyed and active little adorable Tortoises!! I set them up in a humid chamber , with a ramp up of heat and UV lamps , night temps around 78 F and high temps around 95 F and a gradual ramp down.
The diet consists of Cactus, Mulberry leaves, greens , mazuri, squash, sweet potato leaves, and some grass clippings.
8 months later they are 1900 grams each!! I an absolutely astounded as to how fast they are growing.
Here are pics of them Now and Then ,
