I am new to breeding Indian star tortoises. I have collected a nice breeding group and had 5 of 6 females lay eggs last year and just got my first eggs from one female today. A couple days ago the first egg from last year hatched. I left in incubator until today. Had a piece of shell sort of stuck on back. I moved to a humid aquarium and then gently pulled shell remains off. Noticed was deformed more severely than realized. I have about 18 more possible to hatch. They are in a hovabator with some sulcatta eggs also set to 88 degrees. Sulcatta hatched normal. I'm concerned about "littermates" of this one as well as eggs I collected today. Can anyone give advice? Lower temp? No others have hatched yet so I don't know if all will be like this or if it will get better with time. Just concerned.
