So I helped them out the rest of the way,(I think they were happy right where they were) Haven't cleaned them yet,but here they are fresh out of the ground.
oh sorry couldn't tell with all the dirt on them too cute though congrats
They look so fragile. I guess that why they hide so well when young. Almost forgot the one on top has an extra scute.
and after a cleaning
here is one of the females that could be the mother to some of these found.
I have their nursery area ready for them so I just put them in it with the others from this year. We were in the mid 80s today but the nights are cool and the sun wont hit where their winter enclosure is located until the leaves fall off the maple trees, that usually happens a little before Thanksgiving. I don't expect them to stay active very long so I might not see them until next spring.
The 2nd was acting as if it was trying to get away when taking the pic, very active little fellow.
This one had 4 hatchlings with one of them still in the egg
Found one on the other side of the pond wandering around. Here they are, the one in the egg will probably be out by tomorrow.
