Considering taht there are probably not and STD studies on this form of Testudo, I'd suggest the 86F with a 1 or 2 degree variance towards the high side. This should give you both males and females.
I believe somebody in the WCT has hatched them out but I would think 90 days is a good guess based on other Testudo.
One point I like to stress with folks used to leather type reptiles is that it is always good to incubate tortois eggs on the dry side. The safest method I found is 100% humidity and a dry incubation medium.
>>As I had no idea what they were. The cool areas are in the high fifties to low sixties F. The hottest area is 115F and most areas are in the seventies. There are hot spots, 60watt bulbs in a metal fixture over a hole in the plexi.

>> Any guesses on aprox. time of incubation? Thanks
