Sally Four Legs, my almost 8 year old yellowfoot tortoise laid 7 eggs early this morning. If they are fertile they will be a cross with a redfoot I believe since the male yellowfoot may be to young. This is the second time that I know that she laid eggs,the first was in the summer of 2011, I found an egg on the surface in her outside enclosure, she may have laid last summer in the outside enclosure and I didn't see nesting. Since I am going to incubate them, I guess the most important question is, what is the best temperature to do it at, I have been slowly raising the temp since this morning and it is 85.5 now. I have never hatched out anything but what is local to where I live, and that is a whole different ballgame. And please don't start a debate about crossing species, if you don't believe it should be done don't respond, it may have happened, but I still want to try to hatch them. Thanks, Len
