  • Thank you very much for the video..

    My tortoise has left her eggs yesterday as yours and buried them. I wonder that how the baby tortoises will come out from the soil:S The soil seems to be hard in here, and it can be difficult for a baby tortoise to open it almost 2 months later. I'm worried a bit. If you know about it please let me know:)

  • When it rains, it will make the soil soft enough for the hatchlings to emerge. They are born with strong front legs and claws. They will emerge singly even hours or days apart.
