This little guy really wanted out. Came out no hesitations and is a very active little bugger. The rest are still taking their time.

Oh yeah this one is hilarious. Already sprawled out his back legs to bask, zooms around. He acts just like his mom ha, good genes I guess.

You should call him Tex. That's the state he was born in and if you use your imagination just a wee bit, his front scute has a rough outline of Texas. :D

Pretty markings! Does he look like his mom also? Would love to see her as well to compare. Is that egg sack normal size? Just curious as I haven't had any yet.

I would go for calling him "Bat" or "Batman", due to the design of the rear scute! :) No matter what name he's a nice looking tort.

He kinda looks like the mo. Hard yo tell until they start getting the traditional "leopard" markings. I will post her pic and the other 2 that decided to come out this morning. His sac is just normal. Its completely sucked up and chowing greens. Fistey little guy this one has been.

Here are some more. Im calling this guy pacman because of his split scute and pattern on his back. He only has 4 vertebral scutes instead of 5.

And blondie came out this morning too. She has no spots except for one on her left marginal scute. Probably going to be a very nice looking leo. Sorry its blurry.
