Congratulations Danny, I am sure it will be well worth the wait, just have to wait around for 300 days to see hatchling photos

I wonder why some tortoises have long incubation times and some do not ?

Thanks Alex, Terry, Jeff, Darren, Sammy, Linda and Beverley

The eggs looks to be fertile

It's not chalking white white, but it is chalking like a Pancake egg does. So I'm assuming it will diapause right away. Not sure how long this first diapause will be.

Congratulations Danny

I really do hope it is fertile. 19 years and 300 + days is long enough to wait
