(Indotestudo elongata) from Cambodia.
Just got back form the Asian turtle conference in Munster Zoo Germany to find one of the endangered species we keep has produced 2 hatchlings. Laid on 16/12 /09 we had not thought they were fertile. Shows hpw wrong you can be!

Great result!
I too have a couple of eggs from this species in the incubator, what was their incubation period? |

At 28.1 degrees these were laid on 16/12/09 and hatched on 18/4/10 so a very long time. Will they be males, quite possibly?
Good luck with your eggs.
