Congratulations, I'm sure you will have alot of fun watching the whole process unfold. Be sure and let the tortoise emerge at his own rate. It can take up to 7-10 days but I've had them totally start trucking around after 2-3 days. If they still have a large yolk to absorb place a moistened paper towl in a small bowl and allow the tortoise to fully absorb the nutrient rich yolk in a confined environment. Make sure you keep the area clean. Good Luck and enjoy! Richard
