Default Finally! My turtle "grandson" is born!

After experiencing 2 batches of eggs failing to hatch, I finally get to see my first baby turtle hatching!

Below are the video and photo links showing the hatching of my 2 turtle grandsons!

Names: Christopher (elder by about 15 mins) and Hitchens – in memory of the recently deceased author and journalist.
Date of Birth: 18th of December
Eggs laid on 26th Oct 2011
Egg number: 1 and 2 (out of 20)
Species: Ocadia Sinensis aka Chinese Stripped Neck Turtle aka Golden Thread Turtle.

Enjoy the videos and pictures! =D
