In Retirement in Rural Mexico, I have purchased some fine babies from my "Fancy" Pet Shop in Merida. Early on, I purchased 5 Florida Soft Shells. Over the years, they have been given larger and larger enclosures until our home was finished along with my Laboratory and large Turtle Pond. Last Year, I found a baby in good shape in the pond. I was surprised because I still thought of these guys as Juveniles. This year, I waited and found a nest with 7 eggs. Pulled them for safety, and incubated them. Today, they all hatched with only one that is still not super active. But a 100% hatch rate makes me happy. Some day, my Yellow Spotted Side Necks will do the same, I hope. (Yes, Podocnemis unifilis with legal paperwork!!) I will attempt to attach pictures.
Wiggly little guys!! This is an Infertile Egg collected the same day. Here to show the size.
