Flat-shelled spider tortoise (pyxis planicauda) hatchling
Breeding occurs during the hot/rainy season, and is followed a month later by egg-laying. Females may produce up to three clutches a year, each containing only one, relatively large egg. Hatching is timed with the return of the rainy season the following December.
