The New Arrival

Miller07 · 07-08-2010, 01:47 PM

The new arrival is here

we picked her up this morning. She has no name yet daughter is still thinking about it

She's currently stomping around her enclosure, already had to have a move about as she went in her bath then tried to climb out of the back of it which was up against the side and toppled on to her back

So I've now pulled it forward.
I got temps of 31.5-32 hot end and 22.2 are these ok?

well here's a few pics

Also I'd just likt to thank everyone for all their help x

Aw, finally you have got her and she is so cute and diddy!

OMG she's just adorable!!
I keep my hot end at 30 and cool end at 20. That seems to be ok for Ebbie.
If she keeps going to the cool end you can always drop the hot end temp a bit.
I bet you've spent a lot of time just watching her. I still find it hard to pull myself away!!
Enjoy her.....

Fantastic, the wait has all been worthwhile hasn't it Cara? You have got a total stunner there and are now mum to a beautiful little tort

Those temps sound the same as mine, good luck with everything Cara and let us know when you name the precious new arrival!

Awwww, what a gorgeous baby she is! Been thinking of you today! Did she do ok in her carrier? Naughty girl giving you a fright already

the first of many probably, for the first couple of months I had to take everything climbable out of my hatchlings enclosure they were forever on their back

they manage ok now though.Congrats she is beautiful

awwww congrats! getting your 1st tort is sooo scary and exciting

you will find that you begin to know what she likes and dislikes and change the enclosure to suit her... I am changing things every day for Dexta and Darwin!

enjoy her
