Although C. guttata is no longer part of my breeding program..
[ not easy decision - they have gone to good keepers ]
a friend is now established with a few of my former "blood-line"!

Ask about future hatchling availability.. Turtletary

Watch my Alpha female.. that gave a "record" 12 eggs in 5 clutches.. and 10 babies!
Go to last pic and click on "previous" to see how the '05 laying season played out for her.

These have been incubated for males.. one stays for future breedstock..
the other goes to join a "friend's" 2004 female (siblings/cousins?).

Even tho' I incubated @ 81-82F [ for male ]..
"he" turned out to be a very unique female..
ever seen a "striped" spotted turtle?
