: Steve, you mentioned that the last clutch you got was around 4 eggs right? How big is the tortoise? If it is around 10 to 13 inches you can expect around this many eggs at each nesting if that becomes her pattern. Remember, in biology NOTHING is a given. So if she normally lays 4-6 eggs a clutch and she does go the max for 3 more nestings you get... Which still aint bad. Remember, that's best case scenario. I don't think I have to describe the worse case scenario.

in your last response you said about 7 clutches was the norm, so i was thinking i may get 5 more clutches instead of 3. 7 clutches of 4-6 would have put me pretty close or over the 30 i mentioned. sorry man, just wishful thinking.
thanks,
steve
