First little Redfoot pip

[allegraf]

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?

The incubation time is about 150 days average. Some hatch earlier around 139 days and later around 165 days. When I incubated higher I got splits. Not worth it for the few extra days waiting.

Thank you alll! He has the cutest orange scale on his nose. Reminds me of Rudolf. Haha
He'll get a better bath in a couple of days! His sibling is hatching now.

Update: Sibling 2 and 3 hatched out today! Number 2 has what some have called a "short skirt" (Lol) but she should do well, and the "twin-looking" egg was just ONE tortoise. Thirty-one grams of cuteness!

#2 Look at those stocky legs.
