My vet spayed an adult female who had a clutch of eggs so the breeder took most of the eggs, the vet took I think 17 or so. This was several weeks ago.
Well one of them just hatched & I just got to hold that baby about an hour ago. OMG our girl is 50lbs & so huge compared to this baby who is soooo tiny & adorable.
It's so hard to comprehend how such a teensy little baby can grow into such a giant tortoise.
Next time I'm there I have got to get pictures!
