Could anyone post here what I am expected to see in the egg at what stage, please. I have seen here some amazing threads with pictures but did not find any specific for Hermanns tortoises. Although I loved watching the photos for Star tortoise and Pancake tortoise, the timing for them will be very different.

I tried to candle my eggs (10 days old) and saw little circle on the egg shells (on 4 pot of 5 eggs) - it is probably chalking - so I assume everything is going well at this moment.

When will I see the veins? What week?

When will I see the ring of life?

What should I search for after that and when? I am annoyed with myself that I did not document it better the last time I had eggs, so now I again don't know what I am looking for.
