Another day, another egg.

[Jacqui]

Went to turn on the light over the erosa to check on them and spotted a nice large oblong egg beside one. Best part is there may be more under the behind of that erosa. Looks like she has a shallow nest right behind her.

Wow, all kinds of eggs showing up today. Congrats. Don't forget to post pics when they hatch. We don't see many of them. Let us know how many you find too

 

[Yvonne G]

Whoopee!! I hope they hatch.

 

[Jacqui]

Whoopee!! I hope they hatch.

Me too! I can get eggs, just can not get the erosa to hatch.

Quality. Hope you are successful. Will you leave them in the ground or into an incubator.

 

[Jacqui]

Long ago, I incubated bell clutches using an incubator. Since those three clutches, I have not had luck with incubators. My homes were incubated in with the patents. The erosa do a bit more digging, so I do not think I can safely leave them in with the parents. These eggs will be placed in an empty enclosure.

Congratulations. I saw an egg once....

 

[tortadise]

Cool. Hope it hatches for you too,

Cool. Hope it hatches for you too,

I hope this one and the others I got a couple of weeks ago (plus the rest in this nest) all hatch. Need to break this streak I am on.

It's not only you. Erosa have something missing in captivity that hasn't been figured out yet to hatching them. I know most the ones hatched were fertile perfect eggs from fresh imports. Other than that I know of very very few indictable that have hatched them from LTC specimens. Just keep trying and it will happen. Maybe different methods kinda like how I figured emys out and worked great for me and a variety of other species too.

 

[Jacqui]

Just for the record, once I finally moved the female, there were four eggs in the covered nest.

And you sure they aren't mushrooms?
