Big girl nesting as the temperatures plummet into the low 50's





She had started in the afternoon while the ground temps were warm, but work slowed as it became progressively colder. Finally, at 11:00 PM I was able to bring her inside and then dig these up


Super marbled two month old cherry-head


The color is almost bluish


Another cherry-head with a big dent after hatching...



Wow, look what this snot-rocket captured!



It's that time of year

Nice looking female too. I like that lighter color. The cherry head baby is very unique looking too.

My torts seem to like to lay when its cold too.

Thanks for the pics.

Two of those eggs are super huge! It will be interesting to see all the babies next to each other after they hatch.

Is that Mount Darth? Those babies are amazing, especially that marbled beauty! Keeper for sure! Jacqui is right, you are stingy with pictures of your torts and your babies!

Carl has a hard time understanding "nice"-curmudgeonly is the first word that comes to mind when thinking of the Old One. Yes you were much nicer than I!

As huge as she is she still has well defined growth lines while the weather has cooled down! Darth is the 8th wonder of the world!

Hello? You still have not posted new pics! We want to see that ultra-marbled hatchling! BTW, you can use your smart phone to take pics and post them.
