hatching period

[soundwave]

Hi gang,

My question is, can eggs hatch at different months if they were laid in the same batch?

I have 4 eggs laid on New Years day. One hatched on Feb 27. The other three haven't hatched yet but I see embryo development in two of them. One seem to be rotten.

thanks for the advice

The eggs are incubated in havobator at 31 C with 70 to 80 humility.

I have eastern hermanns

Hi Ton,
The biggest gap in the same clutch, that resulted in a hatchling that lived, has been only 20 days for any of my Testudo . I almost had one do 40 days this spring. I had a Russian egg hatch after 112 days with the prior hatchling hatching at 72 days. I thought I was going to make it with this one, but he only lived 7 days.
So even if they are still good, the chances of them giving you a hatchling that will live are slim. I've never had it happen. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news.

Hi Danny,

Thank you for the information. I'm sad but not surprised All the four eggs had embryo development when put a pen light to them, I can see mini tortoise shapes. I was wondering if did something wrong in the incubation process. I have had two hatched since August from different batches.
