My goodness! What a lot of hatchlings you could potentially have.
I've heard that some surface laid eggs can be viable so definitely worth incubating. Also that three clutches are fairly normal so more eggs may be on their way soon. Have you much room left in the incubator?
There are others far more experienced than me in these matters as I've only incubated and hatched a single egg. All others have been infertile and from newly rehomed females. I've never mated any of my torts.
Good luck and it's so interesting to read your updates.

thank you. I bought a bigger incubator based on the collection getting bigger. There isn't much more room in this one but luckily I've kept the other as a spare incase there was a problem with the new 1. I'm not expecting all these to be viable but I will incubate until I'm sure. The oldest eggs could hatch any day from the 2nd Feb.

Not too long to wait for the first clutch.
How lovely to see them hatch. I imagine you're greatly enjoying the process. I'm looking forward to hearing about how all these eggs get on and whether any of the ones you suspect are infertile surprise you or not.

I know, I thought the same thing!
I only hatched one and I was up half the night and at the crack of dawn.

There's going to be an army of hatchlings in this incubator.
