Well, here we go again. My Russian tort, May, layer her very first clutch today. Two nice big eggs. They are in the incubator. One of my other Russians, Piglet, is nesting.

Congratulations. Are the females in an inside enclosure?
Yes, I just moved them in about two weeks ago.
My other female layer three eggs this morning. She nested for two days. Now, let’s see if any of the others follow suit!
Well, update! I have three fertile eggs! My Piglet’s eggs are fertile for sure. The other ones, I don’t think but three is a good number for now. I am excited again. They are twenty days in.
Good luck to you, Cheryl. I've had no luck at all with Russians.
Fingers crossed
How cool for you. Keep us posted.
So forgive my ignorance, but they aren’t seasonal layers???? Or does captivity not allow for seasons?? I mean false daylight and artificial heat making it spring/summer all year for them??? Either way, how awesome and congrats!!!
I guess they can lay year round in the right conditions. I don’t hybernate .
How exciting. I hope they all hatch. 
25 days in and the eggs are progressing well. I can actually see the little babies inside. One was moving.
So cool! Any updates on the eggs?
Yes, i can not see through the eggs any more. They are too dark! I can see the air bubble and some veins still. They are growing well. About 20 more days till hatch time.
Happy New Years!!! I have a peeper!!
Here’s peeping at you!
Very cool, I can't wait to do it again.
How exciting. Enjoy your new hatchling.
Perfect way to bring in the new year! Congrats!
