Its starting early

[68merc]

Renee has been pacing for 3 days, tonight at 7 when I got home this is what I found.

There was 3 eggs but I had to leave town so I left her alone. I'll get the incubator out tomorrow night and pick up the eggs.

Looks like I'll be driving North in a couple of months.

Can I treat you and Yvonne to some lunch maybe?

My female is digging test holes. I only hope I can find the actual nest.

Tom if i can figure out this incubation thing! Last year it did't work for me. The change this year will be a bit cooler (2 degrees) and I'm putting the incubator in my linen closet. Its walk in size and is the most temp stable room in the house.

 

[Tom]

What temp did you use last year?

Hope you don't mind me starting a party on your thread.

I don't remember but I felt it was to hot. 87° is what I have now. Given I had one hatch in the yard with no help from me, and knowing the ground was not ever in the upper 80's is the reason I dropped the temp.

I'm jealous (in a good, non hurtful way)! I want tortoise nerd lunch and tortoise eggs!

Congrats on Renee's eggs!

Tom, I did some reading on what I did last year and I set the temp at 89. Its at 84 now but I expect the temp in the house will bump that up in the next 2 months.

PS: picked up 2 more eggs tonight.
