Btw-my corn snakes just laid a clutch about a week ago. So I made up another incubator for these torts. I've successfully hatched 5 clutches of corn snakes, but this is a first for torts. Any easy signs to check fertility? All are uniform in size and have a uniform size and color.

Gather them all up and settle them into a cottage cheese container with moist vermiculite in it. If you don't have an incubator, you can set the container on top of the water heater. In a few days, if they are fertile, they will change in color/consistency to look chalky white. Then in a couple weeks you can candle and see veins.

(I wrote this a while ago, just after your first post, but I forgot to hit 'send.' Lucky for me the computer held onto it and all I had to do was hit the post reply key and not type it all over. So just disregard the part about the water heater)

Thanks! I put them in a small container with vermiculite and a rheostat and a heater.
