Hermanns Tortoise Laid Yesterday

**egyptiandan64** · 12-11-2006, 01:59 PM

One of my hermanns was pacing yesterday, so I put her in the laying box and had to go to work. This morning she wasn't pacing, so I dug around

. She laid 2 eggs yesterday

. They are kidney shaped and this is her first clutch. Pictures to follow when I get home from work

Thats excellent news Dan i eagerly await the pics

Can i ask is there any reason for the eggs to be kidney shaped?

Will this affect the babies inside?

Sorry for all the questions but you know me by now ...................... nosey

I'm home and here are the pictures

. She is a T. h. hercegovinensis and is only 5 3/4" SCL. Thats why the eggs are probably kidney shaped Nickey, because of her size. Here she is and then the eggs
