Look Ray! Turtles!

This newborn Egyptian turtle is the cutest thing I've seen today. It was born in a Danish terrarium on Monday, weighs 7 grams and is the size of a 50 öre coin. I think both Ray K and Carson would appreciate this picture :)

It *is* too adorable for words. :-)

I want one! However, considering my track record with small, fragile objects, it would probably end in tears.

Cutest thing I've seen in a long time!

Eeeee, wee baby turtle!

That high-pitched sound you hear is me squeeing nearly in the dogs-only range. =)

I know what you mean. I used to have all kinds of exotic pets (mostly rats) but I got out of it over time. It seemed harder and harder to get healthy pets. :-(

ZOMG, I didn't know turtles did baby like that! Look at his wee never-been-dirty claws... his perfectly delineated, unworn scales & shell-edges... his dear little chibi face!!
For some reason he looks like a boy turtle to me. :: eyeroll ::

(Now I want to run off to the beach, the next time I hear it's loggerhead-hatching-time, & try to get a glimpse of their faces....)

The world needs more baby turtles!

I am a proud supporter of I.B.T.C!

It's still too tiny for them to determine its gender but I think it looks like a boy turtle too! As a matter of fact, it reminds me a bit of Rodney, with the broad shoulders and the grumpy expression... If I ever get a turtle, I'll name it Rodney!
