This is Gertir's 3rd batch http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rimGjgUpGwQ and the one we caught in the video was her third...all incubated @29-30C and over the night have devoped black mark on the top of the shells, (all 4!!)
I know from experiance that a ring starts to appear etc but this is new to us... Anyway, see how we go...fingers crossed..

Only because we have seen this so many times in Gertie...so we put her somewhere 'comfy'...she does scratch to get everywhere....then walks around the house....usually ending up at the back door....but even in the garden where the can dig...her and herby (the dad) only do upto their noses....funny..and this is a hotel....she knows her way around....solol...thanks..
