    Best practice of cleaning eggs before incubation?

    I recently moved into a new property and within a week my female sulcata dug her first hole and laid 30+ eggs. Unfortunately she did brake about 8 of her eggs and egg yoke and dirt was clumped all around the other good eggs. She is fairly young and still getting the hang of egg laying. I wasn’t...

    Laid eggs after power loss. Is this a survival instinct?

    I live in CA and the past few weeks it’s been very stormy which resulted a lot of power outages. My 6 year old female Sulcata is in an outdoor / heated shed that I built myself and it maintains a constant 80 degrees during the cold days / nights. Unfortunately, I lost power at my house for...

    Any suggestions on gender?

    Mine is approx 8”. You think that would be too small to determine the sex?

    3 1/2 years old and weighs over 2kg. Based from research I believe it’s a female and have not seen any signs of being a male. Any suggestions would be great!

    What are some websites where you can purchase adult tortoises?

    Yeah I will definitely see if they have any! I was able to find a few from known tortoise keepers. Golden Greeks are tough. There are so many subspecies.

    Greek laid egg w/o burying it

    I have a collection of Greek tortoises and today have separated the males and females and also built a bigger outdoor enclosure. A few hours later, I found an egg that was not buried and was unfortunately crushed by the time I was able to retrieve it. The enclosure has two areas to lay eggs...

    What are some websites where you can purchase adult tortoises?

    Yeah I may have to go that route until I get lucky and find some. I do have a 2.1 group (female is in separate enclosure) and the female laid a clutch of infertile eggs this year. I am guessing it was her first time laying eggs. I’m hoping next year to have some fertile ones. I recently read...

    What are some websites where you can purchase adult tortoises?

    Okay. Thanks for the info! I have contacted some breeders and even tried talking to venders at expos. I wasn’t too sure if there were any other sites out there. I am looking for adult female Golden greeks and just started my search on adult cherryheads.
