Posted: Thu Jun 10, 2010 7:25 pm **First of my 2010 DBT hatchlings**

This little guy hatched about a month ago from a single egg laid the end of march.
Even though i've hatched plenty of turtles, i never get used to how cute they are.

I use 10 and 20 gallon tanks half full with a rock pile in the center as a basking area and MVB at 20". No filter till they reach 4 months.
I siphon the water and change it once a week. I go with the no filter option cause hang ons won't work unless the tanks are full, and canisters worry me for suction power.

Do they always breed such few babies?

Oh no,
I have over 50 eggs incubating. They lay clutches of 8 to 14 eggs each year. This was just a single egg laid for whatever reason in march, then she held them till the end of may and laid the rest.

Well it looked cool at one point, but now it's getting kind of embarrassing to have guests (that don't know me that well) over lol.
There are very large tanks, tortoise tables, and nesting boxes all around the side walls of my living room.I'm selling everything, and just keeping the DBT enclosures and gonna build some furniture to make everything look better.
As per the baby section, you just saw it. I only have one hatchling as of now.

What a cutie! Love his markings, especially along the bridge. Pretty cool to raise a turtle from an egg -- hopefully you kept a picture of the egg to keep as part of his baby pictures.
