Hello,

I am doing an honours thesis on wood turtle nesting. I have 6 clutches covered with predator exclusion boxes, but over this weekend some insane rain has raised the river enough to submerge every single one of my nests.

How long can reptile eggs be underwater (if any time at all) before the eggs die? It's been two days of high water, so I'm not thinking very positive right now.

If any one knows, please let me know.

Wendy
