The Babies!!!!!!
The baby turtles hatched on September 27, 1998. They were layed on June 27, 1998.
The little guys are barely the size of quarters. They are all frisky, they like to swim, and they like to hide. They crawl all over each other when they want to be in a certain corner of the tank.
There are only 11 baby turtles now. 2 died, one fried by the lamp, one's head sucked up the filter. I haven't named any yet, for fear of getting them mixed up. They are all green, their mom is brown on the shell. They will gain brownish splotches as they grow.
Here are the pictures of the turtles!
