No, they've still got little yolk sacs and I'm too nervous to handle them yet lol. I was advised once they start hatching to get them off the vermiculite and in some spahgnum moss instead. That's the only picking them up I've done so far. (Talking pictures in the process)Have you weighed them?
I dont blame you!! I'd be so nervous!No, they've still got little yolk sacs and I'm too nervous to handle them yet lol.

Well these are going to be Pet turtles so they'll have names. I haven't named any of the Hobby turtles. I kind of have an "M" and "S" theme that kind of just happened. So I'll need some suggestions of names that start with those letters and Murphy, Marge, Moe, Mookie, Speedy, Spike, Snap, Sheldon, and Spud are all already taken lol.Time for the name game!!! Can’t wait to hear which direction your going with these babies ?

My suggestion for an ‘S’ name is Splash and for an ‘M‘ name, Mini/Minnie.Well these are going to be Pet turtles so they'll have names. I haven't named any of the Hobby turtles.

They are, mother nature is a fantastic artist. I think Meter would be pretty unique.They're absolutely beautiful... That got me thinking about paintings and fine arts. Which got me thinking about poetry.
Sonnet, perhaps? (Maybe you hatched a poem.)
Meter has a meaning related to poetry, especially when you start talking about feet.
Or if you decided to go with another, different letter for your Hobby turtles...
Rhyme and Rhythm.
In my mind, Rhythm and Rhyme aren't completely unrelated to Speed(y), Spike, and Snap.
Of course, my mind is kind of a weird place! ? All disclaimers apply.

I've been raising a 1.3 group of HET albino sliders from Hatchlings since 2016. Unfortunately the original male disappeared out of my pond last year. Recently though I was able to pickup another mature HET male. He's been spending time with the ladies for about two months and finally this morning one of my females nested and layed 8 eggs.

This is only my second attempt at incubating eggs so any tips would be appreciated. Right now I've got them in vermiculite and the incubator set to 88F.
