Hi, I have a male and female redfooted tortoise. I noticed today (09/19/21) that there were eggs. I thought they were mushrooms at first. I marked the tops and put them in vermiculite and moistened it. I live in Buffalo, NY - the low tonight is 55 degrees Fahrenheit. There will be snow on the ground before they are hatch. I'm not sure how long they have been there. I ordered an incubator today from Amazon. She laid 11 eggs, 10 survived... I think thats pretty good! This is the second time she laid eggs since I had her.

- what temp should they be at?
- humidity?
- around how many days, 125?
- any other advice
