My tortoise has laid her 1st clutch

[rebecca redman]

hello guys I’m Becky and 5 weeks ago my girl laid her 1st egg - no 2 arrived 3 weeks after. I’m looking for advice please. I’ve incubated them and watching week by week but not sure if there fertile yet - I will attach some photos. Thanks in advance to who replies.

When they poop them out like that and don'g dig a nest and cover it up, the eggs usually aren't fertile. After about 2 weeks you should be able to see blood veins when you shine a bright light through one end if they're good.

I would not use perlite to incubate the eggs on. It is deadly to hatchlings if they eat it upon hatching, and most do.
