really cool! way to upcycle!

One of my russian tortoise eggs hatched on Christmas! She (i think, due to incubation temps I set) is doing great:) She has been out 24 hours and her belly button is healed up. It was healed by this am, so I gave her a soak and put her back into the incubator. She ate a few bites of mixed...

thank you! i hardly slept last night worrying.

my incubator went on the fritz. it dropped for 5 or so hours to 78 then 73for about 20 minutes while i tried to fix it. i had had it at 89 for my russian tortoise eggs, got it to go to about 87. am buying new incubator this morning, but is it too late for my eggs? they are 5 weeks along

apparently, the tort is about 10" long.

the egg is rosy in real life, with the white spots.

Hello Everyone:) Nadja laid an egg Sunday night. See attachments. 2 pictures of it in her enclosure ( one with her:), 2 with the date written on them, were taken by me peeking in to incubator today. She had been digging test holes for a month. Then laid it on top. I had checked her 4 hours...
