My first hatchling Geoemyda japonica

After trying for nearly 7 years I finally hatched my first Geoemyda japonica, Japanese leaf turtle! I have been producing hatchling Geoemyda spengleri in small numbers for many years but this is the first time I received fertile eggs from my G. japonica. In past seasons I received crushed or cracked G. japonica eggs. This season I finally received two eggs that were in tact and fertile. I incubated them similar to G. spengleri but a little bit warmer. It took 67 days for the hatchling to emerge. The other egg molded completely by about day 45. It stopped developing at about day 30. This little hatching is very robust and not at all shy or timid like G. spengleri. The hatchling at on the 2nd day of being hatched, and hasn't been picky at all with the foods that I've offered. G. spengleri often take many days to eat and survive off the egg sack nutrients for up to 15 days. G. japonica seems ready to eat right away!
