: : Hi Paf,

: : Redfoot eggs should be kept at 85 degrees F (30 C) with 80-85% humidity. Did your tortoise bury the eggs? Try not to turn them.
: : Good luck!

: Thanks, it did bury the eggs and I took them out
: and put them in a container with the soil they were in.
: I marked the top of each egg and will keep the temperature
: at 85 deg. When can i expect hatchlings?
: PAF

At 85 the eggs should probably hatch in 150 days or less but if not don't be discouraged, it may take longer. The higher the temp the quicker development but over 85 and eggs will begin to die. Keep the soil moist but not wet. Please email and let me know how it turns out!
