Hi all.
Do all Tortoise eggs, fertile and infertile have a yolk?
I ask because last year I cracked some of my infertile hingeback eggs open after months, there was a transparent whitish gue in there that stank rotten.(no yolk) Was this the yolk that eventually went rotten and turned into gue or was there never a yolk?
3 days ago one of my redfoot torts layed a clutch of 3. She dug right next to a stone, 1 egg broke, it had a yolk. Does this mean it was fertile?
Thanks.
Craig.
