Default Eggs and hatchlings

My newest female red laid 6 eggs on monday night, Andrew picked her up at the weekend and said she was heavy, i said she might have eggs in her and she did.

These little ones joined the world on Tuesday

they are gorgeous!! How big are the eggs?? they look quite big and i was wondering about the size comparrison to a leos eggs?? my biggest girl, gracie, is huge but i still cant see how eggs manage to fit out of that tiny gap! boggles my mind. apparently she lays an average of twelve eggs at a time. we still have to see proof of this though.

will you be selling any of your older babies?? i only ask because my mum has fallen in love with my torts and is desperate for a tortoise, but her garden is only really bif enough for a smaller tort. I thought i might try getting her one for her 50th birthday in september.

Red eggs are about the size of chicken eggs quite large.

Do you think those eggs are fertile? It'd be a bonus if they were
