Yvonne???? Tortoise eggs - yes. Turtle (aquatic - including box turtles) - NO! They are soft and pliable. If left in the sun to dry out, they get brittle. But nothing like chicken eggs. Look at the picture of my spotted turtle eggs that just hatched. I can squeeze them and they will simply spring back when released. Like a very thin piece of leather. What Colleen is holding is exactly like my musk, or map, or slider, or cooter, or diamond back terrapin, or spotted turtle eggs look like after the baby emerges.Nope. No turtles from those eggs. When a baby hatches the shell still looks white and brittle, just like a chicken egg that you crack.
