Hi,

Oh well I decided to clear out the incubator tonight and broke open 10 dead eggs BUT 2 might be alive!!!!

1/ Elongated fully formed with giant egg sack (Other 2 from the batch are now 1 month old). Not sure its alive but time will tell.

2/ Yellow foot. other 4 eggs were clear so I broke this one open and OMG it looks alive! After advice from a good friend I have resealed the break with clingfilm and nail varnish.

I do not hold out much hope but fingers crossed.

Flippin' heck mike!! I bet that was a shock. This encourages me to leave my ibera egg well alone until it decides what it was doing. Its not that far over due though really, its just me being impatient

Fingers crossed they pull through!

That must have been shocking, hope operation egg proves to be successful.
Quite interesting to see what is in there.

Is it very lucky that the sac is still in tact or do you break the eggs in such a way to miss the sac just in case?

if and when babies are born prematurley they quite often suffer respiritory problems etc. are tortoises the same are they prone to getting any sort of health problems if for what ever reasons they hatch early?
