Well done! Good things come to those who wait

Did it pip at the end of the egg? I have never had any of mine come out that way.

Did you have a sleepless night Jonathan......it's fabulous news x x xx hugs x x x

Star · 22-07-2015, 01:29 PM

congratulations Jonathan, what a beautiful little tortoise. I have 8 eggs in the incubator and I'd be over the moon if they hatched, first ever clutch.
How did you incubate and how mang eggs?

Ozric Jonathan · 22-07-2015, 01:45 PM

Hi Marie. One of my ladies laid 3 eggs together including that one, so there are two possibles still from that clutch.

The incubator I used is a Hatchmaker that a friend gave me and the temp was about 32C. Until this year we'd never had eggs.

Thanks Stella I managed to sleep alright and gave baby a bath before I went to work. It proved very difficult to drag myself away and a result I started my work day later than planned.

And now I've left a baby unattended all day!

Thanks Jonathan,
Hopefully I'll have similar luck to you. Also, good luck with the other two, I have my fingers crossed for you

As a first time incubating it's very nerve racking...in usually calm but these eggs have me running up and down checking temps, moisture etc

I look forward to seeing some more wonderful images of the babies
