First little Redfoot pip

[JourneyN15]

My first little Redfoot egg pipped yesterday. Two more eggs should be following soon. I'll admit, I did a happy dance. No more changes this morning, but I can wait to see it's little face. Temperature is 86.9 and humidity is 86%. If those numbers aren't right, please let me know. Thanks for this great forum and for letting me learn from all of you!

Can't wait to see more.
How many days of incubation has this took?

Congrats.

Thank you, all. He's still working on getting out. It was 121 days yesterday. @Anyfoot
This is the clutch that I think has the twins. We should know for sure soon!

Congrats! The temp is high, I generally incubate at 81-83F, majority of my older hatchling's-now sub adults turned out to be female.

He's here and I'm in love.
@Anyfoot This is the sibling of the possible twin egg, same clutch. It should hatch any day!

 

[JourneyN15]

Thank you, @allegraf ! I will plan on adjusting temps.

I have never kept Red Foots so I am just curious. That sounds like so low a incubation temperature. Also you were getting females who are typically produced on the higher end of incubation temps. Are RF tortoises often cooked at such low temps? How long is incubation at 81 to 83 degrees?

Hey nice going! Looks great from here.
