Congrats!
I'm hoping that could be my issue- as I have experienced this before with other species also. My group has laid multiple clutches with no fertile eggs. Usually, spring/summer time breeding ramps up, and i should get many clutches. I hope you have continued success!

The tortoises are not related, as they were all imports years and years ago. As I stated in my first post these eggs were laid on 12/19/21. Do you think it's too late to cover the eggs now?
Hello-
I have questions I am hoping some keepers that have had similar experiences I have encountered. I currently have a 3.8 group of redfoots that I acquired 2 years ago. The first year with the group, I had many signs of breeding but no eggs or anything. The last year till present breeding...
Its been a looooong time since I have posted in here- so I thought I'd share with everyone some of my enclosures for my groups. All my enclosures are encompassed by a fence and a gate. I also have security cameras on each enclosure to monitor my groups. My first enclosure use to have an old...
I'd be curious to talk to/see who keeps and/or breeds Yucatan box turtles in captivity. If there is anyone in tortoise forum land, please contact me. I'd also be interested in seeing enclosures inside and outside, diet, anything honestly. Information is very minuscule and lacking with this...
Hey everyone,
First off I hope this is an adequate place to post this thread. I have essentially looked from top to bottom for "The Biology and Status of the Star Tortoise (Geochelone elegans) in Sri Lanka." I know that this book is now out of print, and I can only hope someone possible has one...
Currently its tortoises that have been given to me from people not wanting them anymore, or dropped off at my door. I have a male redfoot, some greek tortoises, and an sri lankan star. The only group I currently have right now is some Egyptians I keep strictly inside.
I have not posted unfortunately on here (sorry!) in a long time. I thought I'd share my enclosures now my plants have bloomed and taken off. The species of plants I have in each enclosure are hostas, spirea, hibiscus, and maiden grass. Most are simple but the species I keep enjoy it.

Well here's what I've done with the enclosures so far. I've built each enclosure to be 8'x8' and stacked 4 timbers to be around a foot or so in height. I used 3 1/4" lag bolts to keep them together. Here's some pics of what is done.
I plan on stacking the timber 4-5 timbers high which should be around a foot or more high. I plan on putting some juvenile stars and some species of Greeks in another.
It's been forever since I've posted on here so I thought I'd share what I'm doing now.I've decided to finally build new enclosures for some of my tortoises and thought I'd share steps of the way to building. The pictures are just my beginning so far but the enclosures will be 8'x24' and each...

These are what i use, landscape timbers from lowes. They hold up pretty well and isn't too expensive. I also use used materials such as old waterbed frames.
