Aaron - The guy I was getting mine from went dark on me (ebay) so I reached out directly to Jim at Avitronics and he has a couple "Reptile Buddies" available. The website still says "Coming Soon" but he had a couple so reach out to him at [email protected]

I would think measuring the heart rate would be helpful in your work with Chersina. Once you establish a baseline rate for an individual hatchling, you will be better able to detect possible hatchling distress.

Perhaps a gram scale to measure egg water loss during incubation will become a helpful piece of equipment as well.

That's a good idea too. I don't weigh the eggs at intervals during incubation but I will try that as well.
