Born on the 4th of July...PIC

Matt J Jul 05, 2004 08:40 PM

Well, I've FINALLY hatched a baby Borneo! Here is a pic of the first baby. It seems to be slightly premature (maybe one or two days). It slit the egg and crawled out the same evening (the 4th). The rest of the umbilical came off today. Some of the other eggs (10 more) are just now doing their thing at day 63. I'm VERY happy and wanted to share!

Matt
p.s. - This baby looks almost like the identical copy of mom... a bright head and a dorsal stripe down two thirds of the back to the tail.
