How do you care for turtle eggs?

Answer 1

The best thing to do is to call a Vet that deals with reptiles, just to make sure that everything is going okay and that you won't have to do anything special for the eggs. Good luck and God Bless:)

Answer 2

Tortoises will bury their eggs in the terrarium if the sand is warm, slightly moist, and at least as deep as their shell length. depending on their size, some European tortoises lay as many eggs as thirty eggs a year. after the eggs are laid, you should remove them to safety so that the tortoise will not damage them in the confined space of the terrarium. Mark the top of each egg with a soft lead pencil. They must not be turned for the rest of the incubation period. Otherwise, the yolk will crush the embryo, and it will die. Although many species deposit all the eggs at once, others do so at intervals of five to thirty days. Numbering the eggs will help you know when to expect hatchlings to emerge. The incubation chamber consists of a clear plastic container, half filled with slightly moist vermiculite (from the hardware store) or damp builder's sand. Bury the eggs halfway in the vermiculite. Then close the lid of the container. The humidity inside will rise to the 100-percent level that is needed. Lift the lid once a day, and fan a little fresh air into the container. To keep condensation on the underside of lid from dripping onto the eggs (which can kill the embryos), tilt the container, setting one edge on a matchbox or similar object so condensation can run off lid at an angle. Now place the container of eggs into a room where the ambient temperature is 82 degrees.

Answer 4

Sea turtles will return to the sea after buring the eggs they've laid on a beach. When the eggs hatch they have to get to the ocean themselves. Look at this... "The females try to find a safe place that will be good for the eggs to hatch, and they dig a nest in the ground. Different kinds of turtles look for different kinds of places to nest, but they all dig with their hind legs. When they get the nest just right, they lay the eggs. Some turtles lay just one or two eggs each time, and some lay dozens of eggs at a time. Most turtles leave the nest, but some mothers have been seen guarding their nests to keep the eggs safe from snakes. North American Wood Turtles have been seen doing this in areas where egg-eating snakes are a problem. Burmese Tortoises will sometimes stand guard too. They don't take care of babies once they have hatched though. The hatchlings are on their own." That was from http://www.turtlepuddle.org/kidspage/questions.html... Hope it helped :)!
