If you are looking for this kind of info do your darnedest to contact keepers of this species. I belive a good general condition is slightly damp substate leaning towards the dry side. Temp 27 - 30 degrees c. with no cool down period. (general condition) To find contacts of G. radiata check out a recent copy of Frank Slavens Inventory of amphibians and reptiles. Also go down the list and email Richard Fife directly. I'll bet he would give you some very good info.
Good luck. (that is so cool if you have eggs)

: I'm looking for information on how to incubate G.radiata (madagaskan radiated tortoise?) eggs.
: One stable temp or a cooling period? Vermiculite or perlite?
: Any help, references etc are appreciated.
