Thanks all. Just checked the eggs and they're all banding (they get a white band round the inside rather than the chalk spot found in tortoise eggs) so possibly looking fertile.

Terry,

From what I've read K.Bauri eggs are quite resistant to low humidity, they're hard shelled rather than leathery but I'm going with 95+% humidity in the incubator. Long incubation 80-120 days.


great news on the banding Dave ,lets hope they are all fertile.i think i wouldnt take any chances with the humidity,and keep it high as you have.
