It always amazes me how well they cover their nests. Great news on the eggs, Darren.

Congratulations

Very exciting. Can't wait to see the babies when they hatch

Thick question, but do torts lay eggs all year round in ideal conditions? You're gonna be very busy come the new year.

Excellent pictures and Great news Darren

Hopefully they are both fertile.

It's much easier inside then outside to find eggs Becks.

If you've had a female pacing and ground sniffing and she all of a sudden stops doing that it time to go through the enclosure. If you use your hands there isn't much chance of breaking any eggs.

Rach the Stars don't lay all year they lay through September to March , my reds are the same september to March, meds (tgi,tgg,Hermans )through March to May and my horsfields from October-March so eggs are always arriving but different spieces at dufferent times
