Turtle Watch

Well October 5th came and went with no activity at the turtle spot, so today I decided to dig a little and see what i could find. I found all five eggs- two were already split open with lots of bug activity - another i opened and it looked like a turtle had formed - but it was already very yucky, and then the remaining two just looked like they had gross yolks in them. So, we are sorry to say our turtle watch is over and no turtles. We are hoping mama turtle comes back next year and we plan to dig them up and incubate them in a rubbermaid container or something to see if we have better luck. I was so hoping to see baby turtles.
