How a fertile turtle egg turns into a Reeves' hatchling (小草龜孵化記)

This video shows how one of the eggs my Reeves turtle laid on 20th June 2010 hatches in just 9 weeks.

I'd like to dedicate it to Edgar who is kind enough to adopt the baby and pays a lot of kind efforts to make sure that the hatchling thrives and grows healthily. I hope you all find this interesting to watch.

awesome video man, do you breed turtles or did this just happen and you made the best of it?

[paulcho0731]

@Atoker94 It's the first year I've had fertile eggs, so I just tried my best to capture the development of the little life within. Thanks for showing your interest!

@leinaddaijem I didn't use an incubator either. I put the eggs in a box half filled with moistened soil with sphaghum moss around - that is similar to what you've done - gotta make sure that the stuff is neither dried out nor too wet. I store it up in a room where there is little fluctuations in temperature - using an incubator is always the best choice to keep temperature constant. Somehow, there' may be one or two in a clutch that will spoil during incubation. Just keep trying! Best of luck!!
