Default Ooooooooooooooooo Eggs

Yesterday I got my first eggs from my group of Black breasted leaf turtles, Geomyda spengleri. I've had this female for 3 years and last year I was able to get my first males.
One of the eggs has already started to chalk up

Fantastic species, and great too see captive breeding. Really looking forward to see the hatchlings in early August

Thanks Vicky, Paul, Lolly and Linda

They are very elongated Linda The hatchlings will be folded length wise in the egg, not width wise like a tortoise
