My female just laid 8 eggs and I am wondering how to incubate them. I keep many different water and land turtle species but this is my first tortoise eggs. Is the incubating process [/b]just a little drier?? I have read the info on Tortoise Trust www but am wanting a little more in depth info.
Any links and info would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Barry
Hi Barry,
I would keep them on a dry substrate, half buried. 28 to 31C is a good temperature gauge for Leopards. Also have a container of water in the incubator to maintain a 70% humidity level.
Keep us updated as to how they are doing. Big Grin
