This little one hatched in the last couple of days and emerged from the nest this afternoon. They usually spend the winter in the nest, emerging in the spring, but this one had enough of nest life, I guess. It's still egg shaped,
True on indoors/outdoors, the same thing exists in other animals regarding over winter. My box was an indoor when I received him, so he lived all year round. Didn't know that about water absorption, clever!
Not long winded at all, you have more experience than myself, and I appreciate the time, and details you take regarding your breeding efforts and their physiology.
I've never seen a box that small. The smallest I saw was a bit larger than a silver dollar!
They are MY favorite turtle that I can keep. Galops are my other favorite, but they are challenging for obvious reasons hah.. I never owned an ornate, they were never available when I felt I was ready for one. Plus I have been keeping reptiles far longer, since I was a kid than I have arachnids.
