They are soo cute!
Thanks for sharing your pics with us and do not be shy to keep them comming

 

[Stephanie Logan]

Well, Kelly, you are just on a photo-posting roll! Like Isa says, Bring it on!

Is that a large chunk of wood in your enclosure in the first two photos?

The hatchling(s) is very photogenic! What an ideal little model.

[stells]

Thanks

Stephanie... its a piece of cork bark... they love to hide under it and its nice and light so ideal for hatchlings...

[Stephanie Logan]

Where does one purchase cork bark?

Danny, is that XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX in your signature a new feature? Or perhaps a special code?

 

[Maggie Cummings]

OMG! What beautiful faces Kelly! Could you take a longer shot and show their enclosure? They are just beautiful, and I would like to see how they are kept. I am always looking for ideas for my dry and boring looking habitats. They are just amazing...what exactly are they?

 

[egyptiandan]

No code Stephanie, just kisses for my fiancee. and it's not new

Just google it Stephanie, there are plenty of places selling it over here.

Maggie, they are Greek tortoises from Morocco, Testudo graeca marokkensis.

Found an older pic of the enclosure in my photobucket account...

Only change is they now have readigrass in the flower pot... and there are now 6 hatchlings lol

 

[Maggie Cummings]

Thanks Kelly...you keep them on just ordinary soil?

 

[stells]

Yep just plain topsoil

What charming faces! Such photogenic little ones Thanks for sharing!

 

[stells]

Thanks for all the great replies to this thread

These are the funniest hatchlings i have ever had... they never fail to put smile on my face... and i have decided as these were my first Moroccan hatchlings i am going to hold onto them for a couple of years so i can watch them grow for a while before parting with them... thats my excuse anyway...
