Turtle Eggs Hatching

This clutch of Reeves turtle eggs were laid on 2nd June 2010. After 63 days of waiting on my side, the eggs began to hatch. It is really thrilling to see the baby turtles getting out of the shell for the first time in my life.

@coolmedownimfireburn They'll normally hatch on their own! Better not to interfere unless necessary.

My husband and I caught a bunch of turtles for eating, and 4 or 5 of them were female! We kept the eggs, which was 65, I just did some candling today! It was shockingly exciting! Because it's difficult to uncover the moist sand and there are so many, I've only candles about 15 and 7 are definitely fertile. They have veins and a shadow. It was so heart warming for me! (I'm a chick that loves the baby things lol) they are 3 weeks old. Soft-shell turtles. I can't wait! Would you happen to know how

[paulcho0731]

@1bobeecox Where did you get the eggs? Digging from the sand or what .....? Candling to see veins and a shadow, the egg is probably a few weeks after being laid. How long it takes for the eggs to hatch varies from species to species and would depend on the incubation temperature. Good luck!

My turtle just had 3 eggs I don't know what to do=( !!! help pliz

[paulcho0731]

@effectos86 First of all, you gotta make sure if the eggs are fertile; if there's been no male turtle around, the eggs must be sterile. If you found the eggs in water and had no idea how long they had been laid, it's very likely the eggs cannot be fertilised due to suffocation.

Next, you should lay the eggs half-buried in some soil which must kept moist but not water-logged. Remember not to turn the eggs around or lay them upside down. You may mark the top (the side facing upward)

@cybermoomoo2 it's not like it's a bad thing. People in other countries eat fried spiders, and whole rats, and raw oysters. So when it comes down to it, id be willing to bet you couldn't live off of the land. Oh, and by the way. I also eat deer. And cow. And moose. And fish. And rabbit. And hog. And pig. And chicken. And I've tried squirrel. I prefer wild game, over mcdonalds and burgerking ANY DAY. I'm trying to LOSE WEIGHT. Not end up OBESE like the rest of America.
