ok thank you so much for all the help. i will definitely keep u updated on how the eggs turn out :)

i really cant afford that right now. i’m still not even sure if the eggs are fertile or not. @YvonneG told me to wait a week or two in the incubator and then candle the eggs. i just added a thermometer to the container. what temps should the eggs be at?

i’m hoping this will work as an incubator. there is some paper towels along with sand. i also placed a dish of water to keep it humid. it’s sitting under a 75 w heat lamp

can i use a tupperware container with a heat lamp over it? will soil work in place of the vermiculite. i’m really sorry i just don’t know how i can afford this.

i don’t know if i’ll be able to do this. with all the recent rain in pa my basement flooded and i’m barely paying for that. my current tortoises really need an enclosure upgrade and now that’s been delayed. i’m not sure i’ll be able to handle this.

i dont even know how to properly incubate the eggs, any advice on how to do that.

this is a picture of the female who layed the eggs.

this is one of the eggs, it doesnt look fertile to me, what do u think?

they were born in february of 2015. that’s what the breeder told us. so i guess they are almost 4

well, i just dug them up, and there are ten eggs.. she used to be with a male, and they would mate, but they are too young to reproduce. i do beleive my tortoise was egg bound for a while because before this happened she would lay an egg everyone once and a while. i googled it and it said that...

Update: she layed her eggs!! she layed four wggs in her outside enclosure yesterday. i’m going out to dig them up and see if they are fertile. i don’t think they because of the small amount of eggs, but it’s worth a shot.

Update: she is eating normally, but is still digging holes, i try and take her put so she can dig outside, but she hasnt.

my female leopard tortoise is showing signs of nesting. her indoor substarte isnt deep enough right now, and we are currently upgrading. i take her out everyday but she hasnt tried to dig outside. she has laid eggs before, all infertile because she is only 2 years old. but normally she passes...

the bulb i currently use is a zoomed reptisun 24” 10.0 uvb light. i’m reading what it says on the bulb and it says nothing about uva which has me concerned. i’ll try and look for the box but i’m pretty sure it’s been thrown out.

ok i changed it lol

i live in western pennsylvania, sorry it doesnt say that on my location and i cant figure out how to change it

New i live in westeren pennsylvania, so for winters we take them in and they have acces to a uv light. but summers are mostly outdoor.

so i recently had to seperate my two leos because of the male bullying the female. we had to quickly put together an enclosure for my female. we only have one uv light and the male is using it. i take both of the torts outside everyday for about 4-6 hours unless it’s raining, is the female ok...

thanks for the help

my two year old male leopard tortoise keeps trying to escape the outdoor enclosure i built him. it’s got plenty of room and lots of grass to munch on, yet everyday when i bring him out, he just paces the walls of the enclosure. sometimes he even climbs on his sister to try and get over. is there...
