I don't know what it is, but congrats!!
Congratulations! How exciting. Although common in their native range, you just don't see R punctularia much at all, let alone hatching them!
90 days sounds like a long time for an aquatic turtle, but these eggs look more like tortoise eggs than aquatic eggs. Are the shells as hard as a tortoise egg? What temp did you incubate?thank you yes they aren’t common in captivity. Two years ago there were an import of some animals from South America to Europe.
i bought a pair. The female laid 5 infertile eggs last year because my male wasn’t adult I think. This year mating was successful. The female laid until today 7 eggs in total. Just one was infertile.
two are already hatched and four are in the Incubator and look good.
Incubation was from 27.6-23.9 first hatchling second one hatched 25.9

Thanks for the great pictures and for sharing the information.
Doing good
It depends of the house conception and insulation.Isnt the attic extremely hot? Like overly hot? I feel like they would die. Unless you have air circulation up there. Attics are meant for storage.
