Thank you, everyone!!! :D I currently have total 3 hatched, and I will post more pictures soon. All three have different coloration. :rolleyes:

After 8 years of waiting, I finally have some eggs from my cherryhead pair. And, another 160 days of waiting for the first cherryhead baby.

Danny, Thank you for sharing this information. I just found a a broken herman egg. The inner membrane looks intack, so I am going to cover it with egg shell. Scott

Eggs are chalking up, so keep my fingers crossed. :D There is nothing special about the terrarium. It's Rubbermaid big storage box with light fixture. The substrate is topsoil/sand/peat moss. You can find Terry's post for some really good and simple enclosure. Scott

I found this female cherryhead was digging. What's a surprise to see those white pingpong balls. :D Scott

Agree with Danny. It's Asian Brown tortoise, Manouria emys emys. Not desert tortoise.

Thank you, Carl!! I have a peanut shape egg last year, too. However, it did not develop. The same female laid some eggs last night, so I hope she has some regular eggs this time. Scott

Carl, What's your experience to incubate odd size egg? I had few odd size redfoot eggs that had never hatched. Scott

The eggs are chalking, but no further development. Not sure if there is anything I can improve it. Scott

Hi Danny, Could you let me know where you find the information about temperature for homeana? Few people from yahoo group suggest much higher temperature to incubate homeana. I have been had about 8 eggs from my homeana every year, but I haven't been able to hatch any. I incubate 86F day and...

Thank you, Kate, Candy, Isa, Kelly, Roachman, Stephanie!! Stephanie, could you provide me more names? I have more babies which I haven’t gave them names yet. :P Those three are just hatched on Christmas, after 60 days of incubation. It was surprising to see them coming out of egg...

What I found on Christmas day. Santa brought me three herman hatchlings. Scott

Tim, congratulation. What a great Christmas present. We have 3 herman hatchlings, too. :D 86 or 87 should be still good temp, too. I had many hatchlings from 86~87 without any extra/split. Scott

Haha... Thank you, EJ. I am not expecting you to answer this. :D This is the information to support that UVB light bulb is beneficial for tortoise, but it is not must have. When people suggest it is must have, they must be base on some hard evidence. But, I guess there is no such support...

Could any one provide UVB Light Bulb usage informtion/study for tortoise? If there is no information available, why people still say you have to use UVB light bulb? Scott
