Looked what happened in my incubator on the first day of Spring!

My 22 year old 3 toed box turtle " Clyde's" eggs started to hatch! These were laid on January 5, 2007 and are hatchlings 4, 5, 6, and 7 for her since November! That's 80 days incubation time.

I noticed these eggs starting to pip last night and took these pictures this morning. I only have pictures of three eggs here. The fourth is in a different container and has just started to hatch.

I was really worried about these eggs. They all developed dents in them last week and I thought there was a problem. I increased humidity and was happy and relieved to see them hatching.

I'll post more pictures later once they are completely out of their eggs. I hope you like these ones!

Spring has sprung!
