rare Canadian hatching, Yellowfoots!!
To say the least I'm bouncing off the walls this morning.
Almost 5 months to the day after being layed. Our first baby Yellowfoot came out to say hello world. My older daughter named it Lucky.
Incubated at 81.7* with 97% humidity. No substrate method was used with great success. I can not find other records of this method being used before. After a lenghthy talk with a Reptile Zoo owner friend of mine. We started to get worried the shells would be to hard for the babies to break out. Thankfully not the case.
PS: these are my wife Josee torts and she gets all the koodo's for this day.

Egg tooth is easy to see.
In this picture you can see the 3 pinkish unfertilised eggs.

Congratulations!
Nice work! How big are your breeders?
BTW, there have been others before you who have incubated turtle eggs w/o substrate; in particular, I remember reading an article somewhere where they had been incubated resting in depressions made in styrofoam sheets.

Thanks all,
Kai,
On foam sheets had not seen that one. As for size of our breeders, mom is 14.5 inches and dad is 13 inches. It was her first clutches of eggs- 1,1,11 total 13
I do have an other female but she is a couple years away from breeding size at 9 inches.
Anyday now the 11 bunch is due.
Mardy
