Please can anyone help, my tortoise laid 2 eggs they have been incubated following guidance from this site, the eggs are now on day 70 and no sign of anything, how long do I wait before giving up as unsuccessful?

Hi

A Hermans Tortoise will take between 75 to 80 days at 25c -28c

                                                           56 to 63 days at 30c -31c

 

I do not know the breed of your torts but the above applies to hermans

I have info regarding incubation periods of other breeds should you need them.

 

Thanks Paul
