HERMANNS EGGS AT LAST!...PHEW!...
 

...Yesterday my Hermanns finally laid her eggs, after weeks of fretting, she laid a large clutch of 9 eggs WOW!!! :shock: Whilst laying them, she laid 2 eggs together 3 times!!!...Again another fast clutch, she started digging at 3.45pm, and was all done at 5.30pm (less than 2 hours!)...So that is 2 days on the trot for eggs (which I have seen before) but I have another female who could lay tonight!!! :shock: (she abandoned a nest site at 11.00am this morning) probably too hot for her to continue? :roll: ...Please enjoy the photos :wink: ...T.T. 8)

Thanks TT for sharing your pics!! A pleasure as always :wink:

Great pictures TT ,i had two clutches of hermans eggs laid on wednesday one of 9 eggs the second just two, never thought to take pictures this time was rather busy with other chours.
Well after much thinking i decided not to go through the incubation of them and threw them away i just can't advertise them any more and finding homes without advertising is so difficult only thing is now all 5 ibera are nest digging and so is my horsfield "again "what do i do with all the eggs is the question its so difficult to destroy them ,anyway on a better note TT good luck with your eggs i hope you have a successful hatch

Well done TT great clutch of eggs you have there.

That's so sad Darren, :( such a shame you have been forced into making such a decision when you are so good at breeding tortoises.

I wish there was something I could do to help.

Ade :D
