Hello, we live in Oregon and we have a two Greek tortoises. We have had them for about 1 1/2 years. Our female just laid two eggs today! Any advice on how to incubate the eggs would be great. We put them into a 20 gal tank in sand and are keeping the temp in the upper 80's, is this correct and is there anything else we should do? We are also keeping it slightly humid, but how humid should it be?
Thanks,
Deanna and family
hi Deanna, good luck with the eggs
welcome to TFO Deanna,
be sure to browse through the link Danny posted. Lots of info here on incubating.
Welcome to the forum and good luck with your eggs! I am a Deanna also!
Welcome to the forum! Can't wait to see some pics!
welcome and congrats on the eggs! keep us updated on how things progress!
thx for the imformation. We're having trouble keeping the humidity around 70%. We have two bowls in there with sponges in them. Is it OK to spray the substrate with a mister bottle if we don't get any on the eggs? Is there a way we can keep it constantly at 70%? We're having trouble keeping it constant. When its to dry and we mist in the cage, the humidity goes up to much. Then it goes back down to too dry.
thx,
Deanna
Just wanted to say that we have the eggs in an incubator now and everything is good now.
Thanks!
Good luck with your eggs. Which type of incubator are you using?
