Well, it isn't Friday, but I do have the first pics!

My 17b has hatched. Or maybe I should just say the egg has banded. (I have turtles, and when a turtle egg "bands" it means the translucent shell turns opaque, usually first in a wide band in the center, which means the egg is fertile.)

Not a lot to see yet! But a nice look at the floor.

Nice looking exoskeleton there! Great getting “infrastructure” pics, never know when/how they might come in handy for future reference...
Exciting that it is really taking shape. Is its name going to be “Turtle”, I wonder?

Not a chance. Don't want to jinx it on those mountain roads!

File them away. They could come in handy in the future if you want to modify something. One of these shows the wiring that runs from floor level up to the overhead cabinets. That's where I found a 12V wire to tap into for wifeys phone charger in our 21!

I have them of my house, too- all the plumbing and wiring or at least most of the latter. It has been helpful at least once in the past five years.
