Egg time for tortshack!!!!!!!

[tortadise]

Well spring has begun for some of my torts. Have 38 sulcata eggs in the incubator and 12 Guyana redfoot eggs. And here come round two from everyone. Mimi my big sulcata is digging a hole, and big mama my big Burmese brown is digging her hole in her nest. Time to break out the extra incubators. : )

Very nice, I can't wait until I get to do this myself. Has to be very a very exciting thing every time it happens...

 

[tortadise]

Oh yeah it's awesome. Except when the sulcata or leopards like to lay during the winter at midnight on a work day. Lol

Yes, I can see how that would not be very fun...

in that case how do you retrieve the clutch before it's too late?

Outstranding.....

Just have to stay up and get them while she drops them. I have become ocustomed to getting her "I'm egg bound acting weird" moments before she starts to drop or dig her hole.

That's awesome that you know!
@Aldabraman THAT WAS FUNNY! =D

I do that, never any broken eggs that way!

 

[MORTYtheTORTY]

Do they notice that your retrieving their clutch?? I read somewhere on google that one's sulcata female had guarded the spot she laid them in and was very aggressive to anyone or anything passing by it...IDK if she had already got the clutch out or if she was too late?!

What no pictures? Hey you have to have pictures on every thread.

 

[tortadise]

Well first time I've had to dig out some eggs in the 12 years since I've been doing this with torts. There awesome how they can pack them in there.

My latest was 1:30 am

 

[tortadise]

Oh no. She didn't even know I dug them up. She laid them in the yard and went back into her building. Redfoots don't mind either. We have a mutual agreement I guess lol.
