My Sulcata laid eggs on 12-12-12 I have had them in a incubator since they was laid at 88 degrees and 50-70 % humidity. I just candled them and they look the same as they have from day one. No veins ,no chalking. They don't stink nor are they discolored. Could they just not be fertile? Any ideas?

The most difficult obstacle to overcome in breeding tortoises …. “PATIENCE”

Hang in there …….and leave them be …….:shy:

I've dealt with the same thing with sulcata eggs. I've seen where they don't show veins until 2-3 months and end up hatching, and I've seen them remain "good looking" for 4months without being fertile. They take forever to start rotting apparently. Good luck, and yes be patient. You are doing things correctly, if they are fertile they should hatch.
