Eggs!

[socialworker81]

I know it's been sometime since I've been on the forum, life seems to get in the way sometimes! But on a brighter note, I rescued a male and female from a local pet store. They are adults ( Tyler and Marla are their names) and have some pretty bad pyramiding, but they have been doing great since I rescued them.
I noticed my female was digging and just went to check on her, low and behold, three eggs! Unfortunately it looks as though she did a little to much covering up and one was split in half but there are still two good ones.
I'm just curious what the incubation period is? Up until today, I've only incubated Russian tortoise eggs. I can't wait to see what the little guys look like when they hatch!!!!!

Congrats. Your looking around 110-200 days. Usually they hatch around 130-150 in the upper 80s. Can be shorter the higher you go. I keep my red eggs around 84-86 and see them pip around 140ish.

Haha! I was so excited I forgot that part! They are red foots.

Thanks! I keep the Russian tortoise eggs around 88-87 and didn't have any trouble. I don't want it to be too hot, I think I will try to keep it around 85. Patience is a virtue when waiting for eggs to hatch.
