Great news and you are doing everything spot on,The hard bit now is to try and leave them alone (not easy with your first eggs)
Good luck

When I weighed her yesterday she was roughly 1115 grams after she layed the eggs I weighed her and she is 1052 grams so I would say the eggs are roughly 10- 12 grams each. She is hermann boettgeri and the scl lengh is about 18cm long she is 8 years old. Hope this helps.

thanks for the info she certainly seems big enough although i dont think her hatchlings are likely to go much above 10g on hatching,with smaller eggs it is wise to keep the temperature down slightly and not risk going above 31.5c with my second generation females i incubate between 30.5c and 31.5c.im not saying you will get problems but at the lower temperature there is less chance of deformities and you should see a better hatch rate.75% humidity should be fine just try not to let it drop to low before you top up the water tray because in the later stages a sudden increase in humidity can cause them to hatch early often with large yolksacs remaining.her weight to length ratio is within the safe range according to the jacksons ratio(http://www.tortoise-...s-ratio-t8.html) but you dont want it to drop any lower so ensure she is kept well hydrated this may help with her weight.Hi everyone thanks for the replys really exciting.
