For the first time here in the USA, a Testudo hermanni hermanni from the island of Majorca, Spain has successfully hatched out of its egg. She was born today at about 1pm and I am extremely excited. Both Italian and French hermanni have been produced here regularly but this is just amazing. The adult group was imported back in December and after only having them here since then, they have reproduced. I am unsure of who her mother and father are because I did not see the female nest, but here are some shots of the baby and some of the adults.
