My turtle laid eggs?? Bunny Babies??

[newlife]

Very very interesting....1st time hearing this happening at home...Cool..

Keep us update....hope it hatches into some cutie...

Get perlite and vermiculite from nurseries. But first, mark the "correct side up" of the egg with a marker to make sure it doesnt turn on its side.

Also, after say a week, use a torchlight and shine it at the egg. A fertile egg should have a pinkish band. An infertile egg should be yellow.

the eggs also need humidity, so make sure the hatching medium is moist but not wet.

Best of luck.

Oh I designed the tank myself 2 years back. The design is in the thread here:

Crossing my fingers that these are fertile and the embryo are alive.



I am using potting soil from my mum's flower pot now. Should I use perlite instead? The soil in the plastic tub is now well soaked...wonder if it is too wet...

soil not very idea..... many germs and bacterial...... get perlite or vermeculite... i prefer perlite though...

Yo bro! Long time no "talk" Okay will go check on the eggs a week from now to see if there is any colour indications.

Hey, I saw ur tank setup. What is the ramp (the black one) made of? I have an idea, just not sure how to make the ramp and make it stick.

Anyway, didn't know you were also the guy I gave the bino to. Haha.. Didn't know that you too were a turtle fan. I have 3 RES now.

years back , mine laid about 4eggs at one go.

it didn't hatch though.

Yeah the binoculars are working fine thanks! It was basically cheap car mat that i cut and then siliicon glue it to the glass ramp.Tried other materials but tear easily.

That is sad to hear.

Your turtles stop laying eggs from then on?

Hmm.. ok. My toughest part is how to make the ramp.. I have an idea to modify a rubbermaid for the basking area.
