I have sulcata tortoises, live in St Pete FL. I try not to breed them, but it has accidentally happened a few times. I have hatched a few eggs, but normally don't have much luck. The last three batches I have tried to hatch, I have messed up on the temps and the eggs didn't hatch. The most recent clutch, I have decided to leave in the ground. Has anyone ever had any luck with eggs hatching that are left alone? Since I don't really want or need babies, I am just letting nature take its course. I am a little concerned with this cold snap we are having, and with the fire ants, and the crows, but we'll see what happens. Oh yeah, and how long should it take?
