I've been wanting to hatch baby cooters for years. Had some bad luck. My older male passed away so I had to raise up a male. He was finally able to breed this year and it looks like most of the eggs are fertile and possibly hatching this week. In the past I hatched a baby, it escaped in the yard. Then I missed a nest. The babies hatched in the ground. All the eggs were bad except for one baby I found in the pond. I tried to catch it, but when I came back it was gone I could only assume a large catfish or the red ears ate it. Crossing my fingers these guys hatch out this week.
