I'm bound and determined to hatch YF tortoises!

Occasionally I'll find a nest in their yard, just in a scrape with no cover. I incubate at the upper 80'sF but none have hatched. Well, I shouldn't say 'none.' I was able to hatch out the very first clutch I found several years ago - 4 babies, but none since. I have one older female, one younger female (but mature) and one of the four that hatched several years ago that is female. Oh, and one young, but mature, male.

This evening while making my rounds I found two eggs behind the youngest female. I've set them up in the incubator on moist vermiculite and covered them with moist sphagnum moss.

If anyone has any suggestions for me, I'm extremely open to them!

I can only wish you luck. I've only hatched leopards and for all the eggs I had, I barely got any to hatch.
