Default Fertile Tortoise Eggs

I would be interested to know out of those who have bred, or were hoping to have fertile eggs this year, what percentage hatched?

I must say I have been very disappointed with the fertility rate this year and wondered if it could be to do with the late spring?

I like you have had a very low fertility rate this year and believe it is something to do with the grotty weather we've had.

I've had 100% hatch, but then again I've only had 4 eggs this year lol.

Apparently it's been a very bad year for most due to the cold wet Spring. I've had a 60% hatch rate.
