ok shes still going strong. i thought just in case i better get prepared- what would be the best incubator to buy? will have to go on my travels tomorrow!

I use a hovabator temp 29.5c and humidity around 80%
Keep an eye on her is the substrate isnt deep she might break the eggs.

What i used to do it when they laid an egg get it out, then put a golf ball in replace so they can feel that with their legs and push it in the groove. You might have to do this to stop them breaking

ok will buy one of them- do you think the hovabator is better than the herp nursery ll one ? also what else will i need- just in case- my list so far, golfballs, incubator....anything else? sorry in a blind panic as i have only had her for 4 days! now that i think about it she was really off her food, i just thought it was the upset. now im not sure if shes gravid or just being weird but i suppose i will find out soon enough! I cant believe i will be sitting up all night watching my tort as im a dog breeder by trade and this is all new to me- pedigree dogs are easier! im not too keen on this unknown territory- thatnk you all so much, i couldnt do it all without you. as soon as i know out i will let you know, and if anyone else can add to my shopping list then please do so x
