: Hello everyone, This is the first year I have had any luck with my pair of desert tortoises breeding (I believe it is because we live very close to the coast) My female layed her eggs on the 27th of June, I put them up to a flashlight this morning and 4 out of 7 eggs have veins in them! I am really excited. My question is do you recommend putting a cup of water in the incubator with them? I have heard both yes and no. ...the desert has no humidity right? I wouldn't want to make a mistake, I feel so lucky right now.
: any advice would be appreciated.
: thanks -Nick

The section under breeding at this link describes the humidity at 50% - 70%.
