Thank you for all the info. Weve had that ramp for the longest time, they don't even go in it, but ill check out the terra cotta saucer, maybe they'll go in more often, thanks for the heads up! She laid the eggs on May 1st, I'm not sure if this is her first clutch, we found her. A pet store we frequent is actually incubating them for us. She said they looked good. How would you know if they are not fertile eggs, would they just not hatch?

At almost three months, they should have hatched, but keep incubating anyway.

You can candle the eggs and at this point you should see a dark mass in the eggs and possibly blood vessels on the inside surface of the eggs too. If the eggs candle and are completely clear and whitish, then they are likely not fertile.

Good pet store idea. Do you mind saying which store? Thanks
We've had some struggles getting our gecko eggs incubated at the house, until recently, so we didn't want to take any chances with our tort eggs. We get everything for our pets at the Reptile Den. She is awesome and we're very thankful that she is incubating our eggs for us
