more then enough eastern box eggs then i expected

[shellfreak]

this is the first season i put my LTC male with my LTC females. i was expecting at least one of the 3 females to go gravid. 16 eggs later, its out of control. my one female just laid 3 more an hour ago. so cool to watch. not sure how im going to get rid of all these little hatchlings (if they hatch). Are baby eastern box turtles even legal to sell on the east coast?

That is a good problem to have IMHO, when they hatch (think positive) and if it is legal I will buy one or two if you like, no pressure though. Gratz on the good news.

congrats!!!! ill trade a sulcata hatchling for an eastern box turtle hatchling any day!

 

[shellfreak]

ill keep you all posted with pictures when they start to hatch. im not in it to make money, so ill just charge the shipping costs. i enjoy turtles to much to make it a hassel...

spikethebest, i cant keep enough food in the pen for my sulcatta now, i cant imagine having 2. i would trade for russian hatchlings though...haha.
