need help?

When should a box turtle egg show movement? I can see a dark object but no movement yet. The egg is about 75 days old. I can not get an answer anywhere!! Does this mean the turtle is not alive? I am really upset! Please help me!

I sent u an email by mistake. I am so sorry. I am new to this!! I wanted to thank u for the reply. U are the only one that did reply! I am so upset. Hopefully u are right. I have read so many posts about the eggs moving in early weeks and I am a nervous wreck! I am hoping he or she is just a sleepy head. I do not want to give up hope!
Thanks again for your reply.

I don't see why you're so worried. Whatever happens, happens.

Normally, after about 2 weeks you can see blood vessels growing in the egg. After that, you just wait and see. That's what I do. I don't disturb the eggs once I've determined they're growing. If they hatch after about 3 months, then wow! I'm excited. If they don't hatch, its no big deal to me. Try again next time.
