She's a beautiful tort [emoji7] that must be your cheat egg huh [emoji2] how do they ship them without them being bumped around and such?
He ships them in a deli cup between two pieces of bread. The bread cushions the egg and it's good for holding moisture. He doesn't ship them till the baby is fully developed and about to hatch so it doesn't matter if the egg gets bumped around little. I always joke and say my Tortoise flew further on an airplane than I ever have before she was even born.

Oh okay! That makes alot more sense than I was thinking lol. I never understood how they did it without harming the eggs. I suppose it took a bit of trial and error before getting it right. That is so cool though! That's the best part is watching it hatch without waiting forever.. [emoji3526]

Large Marge is weighing in today at 285g. She got an upgraded enclosure today too. I converted a 75 gallon tank into a new home for her. IMG_20191109_123520240.jpg IMG_20191109_123534479.jpg IMG_20191109_123642301.jpg IMG_20191109_125417515.jpg
