3 of them I know are 2013 hatch. We had 4, one died, so I know we had 3. The following year I told DH I saw 4 babies in the pen. He didn't believe me, so I rounded them up... found 5. 2 were much smaller than the others. So not sure if maybe those 2 were a 2014 hatch? As of this year, 1 of them is still much smaller, but the other has caught up in size.
DH took pics as I was pulling them out of the box I stuck them in when I unearthed everybody a little bit ago.
(1) Big spotty head baby
(2) Big stripey head baby
(3) Stumpy (he had 4 legs when he hibernated the first year, 3 when he came up the following spring)
(4) Other little shy baby - this is the only one that has a tiny little indent on the plastron
(5) Little spotty head with 3 legs (um, my fault - they hibernate in the pile of leaves and pine straw against the house... seems this one decided to move and was under the huge ornamental grass plant I was digging up to divide)
baby turtles in a box with Sammy, their mom (or that's who I think is their mom)
and with Clementine too
So can I tell yet what I have? or more accurately, can you tell what they are sex wise yet?
