Will these turtle eggs hatch?

[Andrew1002]

I caught about 15 turtle eggs that were all in my pond. They were laid within the last 24 hours. I took about 15 and put them in about 6 inches of potting soil. They are always around 70+ degrees. I don't have an incubator. It's constantly humid too. Will they hatch? I'll put them under a heat lamp when I get back to nj.

if they were in the water i would so no cause the embryo did not have time to form they are supposed to not move and potting soil is not good to incubate with cause it will allow fungus to grow on the eggs

I'll give them 90 days. I'll put them in sand. Potting soil was all I had. I accidentally dropped one and the embryo and everything was in there. There was a yolk and everything. They didn't start to smell yet. How long until they smell if they aren't fertile? I'll give it 90 days just to assure they are not going to hatch. I saw some in the water that already hatched and there were egg sacs floating around. Is there a way to tell if they are painted,Sliders, or snapper eggs? If these don't hatch ill get some from on land. I have female turtles laying all over my land lol. I saw about 10 just this morning.

I believe turtle eggs need temperatures of around 86 degrees to hatch. Also I hope you did not turn the eggs upsidedown or anything because that will kill them.

Just try googling how to hatch turtle eggs it will give you all you need to know.

I knew about them having to be placed the same as they were found. I placed them EXACTLY the same as I found them.

ya do some research! and i say that in a good way! i would gett vermiculite and a egg crate and a tupperware bowl and an incubator. but like i said if they were in the water they are probley no good. to much moisture. and by embryo i mean a layer in the egg forms and if the egg gets turned it will break the embryo and it will be no good

Oh they were literally just layer though.

If you find them in the water, then it's no good as the eggs are most likely were drowned.

its not always true that if they are in the water they are no good..my mom's red eared sliders laid about 5 eggs some time in the night in the water she pulled them out that morning, incubated them and 4 of the 5 hatched.

good luck with your eggs.

Ya, the eggs were laid within 24 hours. I was fishing in that spot at about 8am then I went back at about 12 and saw them. Went and got my chest wader on, came back with a 5 gallon bucket full of dirt, then slowly and carefully inserted the eggs. Then I brought them back and switched them over to potting soil. Now they are in a 2 gallon diesel container that I cut the top off of.
