Monitoring of Unhatched Eggs in Hermann’s Tortoise (<i>Testudo hermanni</i>) after Artificial Incubation and Possible Improvements in Hatching

The causes of embryonic mortality in Hermann’s tortoises (<i>Testudo hermanni</i>) during artificial incubation were determined. Total egg failure at the end of the hatching period was investigated. The hatching artefacts represented 19.2% (N = 3557) of all eggs (N = 18,520). The viabili...
