The little one is here! he's a tad bigger than my other baby, Hatched in Dec 09, VERY active, not shy a bit, chomping down his munchies in between stomping around in his temporary enclosure

He looks great! I opened the box and there he was in his little cup completely out of his shell and eying me up Granted he pooped all over his self, other than that.. great 1st how do ya dos!

I'll post pics in a bit! Gonna let him settle for a few before I ram a camera in his face!

So he's kinda smelly lol Ah.. what should I do about that? I have soaked him and wiped him down a bit and after that not as bad I put him outside to "air out" a bit... lol @ airing out the tortoise

He is really cute! VERY active.. he's a climber my other baby never seemed to interested in climbing, I'm kinda afraid he's gonna flop over on his back. He's quite large comparing to the other

After 6 months, they can go in together? I think I read thats the quarantine time?

I'll get motivated to dig out the camera..

Since they are both CBB, I think 6mo may be overkill. If they are both eating well, active, pooing normally, etc... I would not wait 6mo.

You said they are from the same breeder, right?

6mo is what you shoot for with new torts that have a history you are not aware of. May be wild caught and \ or raised in conditions that caused varoius potential health issues.

But these are your new babies, so you really can't be too careful I guess. Just wanted to give you a little info (my opinion) to help make an informed decision.

I also agree 6 months for these babies is probably overkill. After a few weeks to make sure he's doing well, you could put them together.

Sounds like he made it through the trip just fine!

I can't edit to add the pics so I'll start a new thread
