Hi.
My name is Grace & I have had a turtle or tortoise since I was 11 yrs. old...over 46 yrs. experience. I currently have a pair of Sulcatas, raising them from hatchlings, for 9 & 10 yrs., & they are mating, and have laid 3 clutches of eggs. This is a new experience for me. The 1st clutch (10) will be at 90 days incubation today. I'm getting excited! I have read online & have several books on tortoises. Do the eggs change in appearance when they are ready to start hatching? One is getting dark spots on the outside shell. Or is it spoiling. Have used a flashlight on the eggs. Some are very solid and dark, just a few are clear.
I enjoy this app., and am not sure how to work it yet. Hope this reaches someone with "egg knowledge."
