I do have a question, I can’t seem to find info in your videos, what ever happened to the Albino tortoise you received as a gift? I remember seeing the original owner doing research on Angle and haven’t seen anything since. Hope you incubator situation doesn’t get out of control with all the insects. Love the channel. Always informative beyond what most other channels when it’s comes to reptiles, of course there are a select few who are great and you always seem to learn something new whenever you visit them. But thanks for the great information and hopefully I can find out what happened to your beautiful albino.

She laid.... dug up the eggs the next day put them in the incubator May 8... I had one hatch on August 8... no sign of the others hatching. My question is how long does it take to hatch, and do they all hatch about the same time? I'm worried that the rest won't hatch , but not sure if I should be worried or not!!?? Thank you!!

    3 months ago a red ear slider laid eggs in my yard . Dug a hole in hard clay soil . The drought has made the soil hard as a rock . Yesterday I delicately dug to the eggs and some were hatching . I moved the clutch in a bucket and buried them in potting soil .Placed the bucket on a heating pad set to medium . Four have hatched . I moved them to a plastic tub with an inch of water and an island . Am I messing up ? The closest water source is a creek about 75 yds away and across a busy street . I plan on releasing them , maybe keep a couple as pets . I dont think they would have been able to dig themselves out of the baked clay soil and make it to the creek .

I was holding end to end and I shined the light on the egg and it popped and a horizontal Crack appeared. Egg started leaking. I was not squeezing it at all. Does this mean its ready to hatch? The turtle moved when I shined the light and I'm pretty sure that is why it cracked. Please help...I don't want it to due. I did mot put it back in the nest.

    You’re seeing my babies in the incubator and they are in an early stage of hatching. In the wild, they would hatch out of the egg but stay in the nest until the yolk has been absorbed. Once they have the strength usually all the babies dig out of the nest together:) that’s why you don’t see yolks with sea turtles hatching out of the nest.

    You can also use a wine cooler or old fridge that's died by putting a heating element in a bucket of water on bottom to heat and create humitity. Look on Google to get more info and don't just jump into it unless your confident of your knowledge that will be very helpful although trial and error is the best way of learning in my opinion with knowledge of course good luck hope this helps

    Aren't turtles' genders dependent on the incubation temperature? So if you keep them at a fixed temperature, don't the babies all come out the same gender?
