Hiyaa! My names Ellie and I have 4 tortoises (2 x marginated called Shelley and Sheldon, 1 x Hermans called Shelby and 1 x Russian called Shelburt - although till recently were led to believe he was a Hermans aswell!) perhaps someone can look at his picture and confirm breed?
Shelby and Shelburt have been together for years, way before we got them. They had laid eggs for their previous owner but they had no way to propagate them. Shelby has just laid her first clutch since we've had her but I'm worried about the consequences of different species breeding - what could happen? Eggs are 3 weeks old being incubated at 32 degrees and around 80% humidity as were going for girls. All seems to be going ok, no smell or sign of going mouldy but just worried they won't hatch as from different breeds...
Any advice or experience of this situation would be great please
