My incubator this a.m.

The box turtle eggs were given to me by someone who accidentally dug them up while working in the garden. I don't know what kind they are, but they are pretty colorful. I'll check out their back feet later today. If anyone is interested in buying box turtle babies be sure to let me know because my tortoise partner, Will, is coming to town this week-end and he will take all the babies home with him to sell. If no one wants box turtle babies, I'll keep them here and raise them myself. The leopards are babcock.

Wow! I'm digging the Oscar Meyer tubs..

 

[naturalman91]

wow you must be very busy this morning lol

 

[Yvonne G]

Nah...I'll leave them in the incubator for a couple days, and after that Will will be responsible for their care. I won't even have to set up a habitat for them (unless I keep the box turtles...and I really love setting up and planting new baby habitats).

 

[tortadise]

Awesome. Lots of hatching go on.

One day I hope to wake up to some new hatchlings. I don't want that many though. If you keep,the Boxies, you have to keep us post on their growth, habitat and pics of course.

Congrats on the babies . I am just guessing ,but whoever found the box turtle eggs. I assume it was in CA so it would have to be an ornate box or a desert box unless it was an escapee mamma.

 

[Yvonne G]

The elderly couple that found the box turtle eggs used to have quite a few box turtles in their back yard. But the yard is way overgrown and they haven't seen many box turtles in recent times. They don't know what kind of box turtles they have. Judging from all the spots on the babies, I'd venture to say they're probably easterns. Box turtles aren't native to California. These eggs are from turtles that had been bought or adopted a long time ago.

Of course you get baby boxies right after I bought 5! I'm in love with the bottom one.

 

[Yvonne G]

Wow! Five new babies. Be sure to keep us in the loop with pictures. I love baby box turtles.
