       Tortoise eggs

       My Red Foot Tortoise presented me with a clutch of eggs laid
       down the furnace duct. I have no idea why the furnace duct is
       such a desirable place to lay eggs, selected over containers of
       mulch or dirt, but this is the second time she has done this. Of
       course I collected them and put them in an incubator but I
       haven't had a lot of luck hatching her eggs. What humidity is
       best for Red Foot eggs?

       Between 80-100% when incubating the eggs. Best temps are between
       85-96 and they are temp sex dependent and most have seen less
       success with hatchlings when they are incubated over 90 degrees
