Good grief

My fish tank nest site (not my finest work).



An egg



Some more eggs



Four very tiny eggs.




I love it when a plan comes together.

PS - Hovabator, 29C, 1:1 vermiculite:water, 95+% humidity. Sound Ok?

Excellent!

I would go on terrapin info and ask turtle Jo about the incubation.

I have two of her juvenilies, an adult female and one semi adult female. Out of the two juveniles one has a considerably larger tail than the other so i'm keeping my fingers crossed!

Cheers Richard. I've emailed Jo already. its the same environment I used for the box turtle eggs, should be ok I think.*

Good luck with your group, my little males tail sprouted out of nowhere to huge in a few month so fingers crossed for yours.

Guess this is one way to find out if 6.5cm males can reproduce.

I would agree. You've managed to hatch your ornates which are soft shelled eggs and can be difficult to get the incubation method right so these hard shelled ones should be easy for you . Fingers crossed.

Hopefully, another generation of "Coffee bean" babies are on the way!
Well done, and good luck!!

Thanks Paul.

Just had a look and all four eggs are banding. Hopefully a good sign.
