Turtle Baby #2 is hatching!!!!!!!!

*Buslady* · 01-05-2007, 11:58 PM

He's hatching TODAY!!!

It was funny...we came in after dropping kiddo at grammas to spend the w/e with her and my mom, and I'm looking at the eggs going "I hope you guys hatch." I was getting discouraged. It took me a few seconds to register that there was a head sticking out of one of the eggs!!!

So friends, I give you...Leonardo.

Leonardo: pipped 1-5-07, out of the egg 1-6-07...this kid ain't foolin around.

Congratulations to a new addition to your little turtle family.

Aww...isn't he cute?

There is no doubt he will grow up to be a fine, young, energetic turtle

Congrats on the lil' guy!

YAY! Oh that's so cool!

Question though, what does pipped mean?

*Cascadia* · 01-08-2007, 11:35 AM

It means that the new little organism broke it shell (egg) in order to come out into the world. I am confident that Buslady can answer better than me but turtles use their beaks to break the inner lining of their egg. The first picture in the thread is a good example of this.
