today finally we got the first eggs from our Group of Aldabras!
The mother is an 100 kg female 17 years old.
Eggs are about 90 g and have a quite thick Shell (one was broken) of over 1mm thick.
We breed the eggs in an incubator "Jäger" , 29 degrees Celsius, heat from above, nearly totally covered with vermiculite.
The dry Vermiculite we moisture with the same weight ammount of water, that means 100g dry vermiculit we mix with 100g water.
So we get a humidity of approx. 90 percent in the incubation place.
@ALDABRAMAN, maybe you have some advice für succesfull incubation of the eggs?
How many days do yours normally need?
