Egg Hatching Timetable
« on: August 05, 2006, 07:20:07 AM »
Was wondering how long it can take for Russian Tortoise eggs to hatch? My female had her first two eggs around 9 weeks ago. The eggs look fine and have been kept in an incubator since day one.

depends on incubation temps. But for the most part 8-10 weeks

Thanks for responding Joe. The owner of a reptile shop in NY told me it can possibly take 3 to 4 months, Is that true?

not very likely. He must have been thinking of another species.
