Poor thing. Well done though and that is a BIIIG egg. Now holding thumbs for the incubation period. Can't wait to see the prgress with this. Don't want to jinx anything so won't mention anything that might tempt fate to intervene.The nesting process that started in post #18 went on for 3 days and finally ended today with a 2 hour dig, and a 3 hour "labor". She deposited one very large egg. You can see in the attached picture the bleeding along the pressure lines as her carapace and plastron flexed to allow the egg to pass. Looks like an exhausting process!
