No "Muddy Eggs" is not the name of a blues singer, my first ever clutch of 3 striped mud turtle eggs were laid today. Look at the size of these beauties.

wow that's a great picture and I haven't seen any so oval before... fingers crossed for them all xx

well done Dave, congratulations....They look like little bullets.....tiggy

Awwwwww sweeeeeeet! Can't wait to see these progress!! Keep us updated Dave

congratulations Dave,i would have thought humidity was crucial with these.they are so small i should imagine dehydration can be a danger in artificial incubation.

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.

Congratulations Dave, another feather in your cap, fingers crossed for the eggs.

Congratulations Dave
Good start to the new year
