Hi all! My first post and I definitely need some guidance. I’ve had my Greek marginated tortoises since they were just hatchlings. They are eight years old and I have found them doing the nasty a couple times but yet the one that was on top is the one that just laid eggs about a foot down in their enclosure outside. She’s obviously a female, and she covered them up, I’ve protected them from any critters getting to them, but clearly have no clue what to do next they’ve been my babies since they were born and I’ve taken such good care of them, but definitely didn’t expect eggs to come this quickly according to the person that had the mom and dad.

Hello and welcome! That is awesome! Here is the info you need:

The eggs are fine to stay in the ground for a few weeks if needed, while you get an incubator and sort everything out. Question are welcome. We will help you.
