This a.m. I opened my incubator to see if it was moist enough in there and was surprised by one of Fat Betty's eggs having hatched! Fat Betty if you remember, is the rescued female Russian that laid 3 eggs for me on April 30th. 68 days to hatch! That seems like a short time to me. The other two eggs don't look promising. The little guy is perfectly round and just adorable!
As I was closing the lid of the incubator I noticed something else, moved the moss aside and saw that three of the eastern box turtle eggs are also hatching! What a nice birthday present for me, huh?
