We're very curious and oh, so eager to see what will happen with the rest of the brood. <br /><br />So sorry about your compost pile mishap. I've had friends who found eggs in their compost pile too, and had a similar sad experience. But, who would have thought a compost pile would be good habitat for nesting turtles! <br /><br />Thanks for reading and sharing your story. <br /><br />Best, <br /><br />KimmerKimberly Kaufmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03111614059575304808noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7283005317456814429.post-45950109840203646382016-09-11T19:58:30.034-04:002016-09-11T19:58:30.034-04:00Spectacular!!

I rarely see the babies, but it seems they actually take a year! When I do see them, it's a year later. I think the incubation varies with the conditions. Twice we were gifted with the sighting of a Snapper laying eggs in a neighbor's lawn. Never saw those emerge. We had a compost heap at that time, and when turning it unearthed a large number of "ping-pong balls" from a snapper. We were heartbroken, and never turned the heap again.KLZhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06228096469874769333noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7283005317456814429.post-40130339525776937262016-09-10T23:41:15.243-04:002016-09-10T23:41:15.243-04:00Thanks so much!
