Evening guys and ladies, there has been a huge argument on Facebook over tortoises an hibernation, I put it as I'm worried about hibernating Boycina, all of a sudden I'm being told tortoises do not need hibernating and the only reason they do is lack of food, heat and light. I have done...

Thank you, I will keep all updated.

He's on his own so if we do get an explosion then it won't effect the others. Have never seen a tort egg explode so this is gonna be new.

I'm not sure if lines at top are veins or Iam just holding onto hope.

This is the all one egg.

Hi guys as promised I would let u all know how our cracked egg is doing, well a month down the line I decided to put a light against him ( didn't pick him up) and on one side I seem to have grown a dark shadow, egg is still white and does not smell so I'm still keeping my fingers and toes...

Sorry, can't help ya I'm in the learning process to, if there is any thing I have learnt, that's if it don't smell or cracked then leave it alone as it may be a slow developer. good luck tho,

What I have learnt mate is if it don't smell or hasn't cracked leave it alone, chances are its fertile but just slow developing.

Good morning Ricki and welcome to our site, everyone on here is so nice and is always willing to help. :-)

My girl prolapsed then re prolapsed the stitch didn't work, I honestly thought I was gonna lose my baby girl, it was due to me doing what reptile shop said and done sand and soil mix and of course she eat it :-( so I went back to grass pellets and she's been fine ever since. Hope your tort has...

That's interesting to know Lisa thank you she can say that about the hermanns, she's doing all kinds of tortoises as the school have said its her interest so they want to know it all lol

Oh I don't let her touch our 4, that would be dangerous, ours at day 90 and no sign of hatching yet I hold hope on 3 but not the 4th one. As he don't look to good so have separated him or her from the others in case, I thought after few weeks there explode if infertile as they go dark, dented...

I have been able to tell her that once dug up you don't touch and mark the top of egg, also told her about the temps and humidity, I even had to explain the mating process which she found highly " disgusting and how could a female allow the male to do it" some of her questions are crazy, so if...

Good afternoon guys, my teenager has got interested in our 4 spur theigh tort eggs and is now doing a project at school about tortoises, and has asked a interesting question but I don't know the answer lol.... Do tortoise eggs get heavier if fertile if so will a infertile tortoise egg be light...
