eggs, Eggs, EGGS!

[turtlemann2]

okay so tonight the night that i had to finally give up on one of penelopes two eggs she blessed me with two more... which is why im up at 1AM she didnt show any signs of digging until she was laying so now i have her first egg, moostashas single egg and now two smaller but still perfect eggs from penelope thats a second clutch this season , and this is the first time she has ever laid for me (although she may have last summer and i never saw any nesting behavior or eggs) but hey im excited and maybe this incubator of mine will never be shut off

Be sure to keep it all logged. You'll like having the specific history written down somewhere. I find that particular females tend to establish a pattern, laying at nearly the same time every year, and about the same time between clutches.

Congratulations!

ive written down the dates so as to know when to expect a posssible hatch, but your right i think ill get one fo those note pads and keep it with my turtle stuff for future referance<

you are so lucky!!!!

i was waiting for you to chime in
i feel very fortunate, not only for my cold blooded family and their off spring but that i may eventually be able to make a differance in the Captive breeding of ttbt's reducing the need for WC specimens in the pet trade where wild collection is still legal,

i am very happy about it but as soon as you find a male im sure you too will have babies

I too, hope your incubator is always in use.

I am looking for him !....hoping once they come out of hibernation I will find one on CL...I did contact a member of a turtle rescue who does have a male for adoption...that might be a route I will take...maybe in the future once we both become successful breeders we can mix and match our ttbt's and start something...lol

how long until they hatch?..mid summer?

 

[nicoleandrocky]

congrats! hope to see pics as soon as they hatch!

im estimating that the first will hatch sometime in april, with the rest hatching anywhere from may to june... it really depends, since i know that the temp is 80 degrees flat with 88% humidity it is pretty constant for example if penelopes first egg hatches on day 60, i can expect the rest to hatch in approximatly the same amount of time give or take, due to the conditions being constant. so early to mid summer is about right
