Serrated hinge-back tortoises were bred successfully at Dalton State, one of the first times that has happened in captivity with this species, officials said.
?This is rarely done with this species,? said Chris Manis, a part-time instructor in natural sciences and research associate at the College. ?I only know of one or two successes prior to this.?
The hatchlings are Serrated hinge-back tortoises, Kinixys erosa. The parents have been part of Dalton State?s Turtle Assurance Colony for approximately two years.
