I want to talk about my method for obtaining the newborn tortoises.
My tort - mother lays eggs in the ground on a large enclosed court.
This year the first egg-laying was June 6.
I remind you how it was (6 good eggs and one - broken):
Usually in the incubator process spans approximately sixty days.
On the last day it took about seventy days, and I decided to start the process of digging the eggs.
I note that last week was quite cool and we had to cover the place with polyethylene. At night the temperature dropped to 16 degrees C.
For two months in the area a lot of weeds have grown with hard and strong roots. How difficult the kids to get out through those obstacles!
Finally I got to the eggs! It turned out (as I assumed) that some of the torts have already hatched and gain strength for the journey to the ground.
The first - the dirtiest! Since I specifically added the sand, be easier to to dig out.
And a couple of videos to make it clearer.
(In the video of a tort already had a shower)
At present end. Later I continue ... I'm tired ...
