06-15-09 My friend Steve called me up and told me that he was watching a painted turtle lay eggs in his back yard, so after she was done we dug them up, 12 great looking eggs. I will incubate them at 82-84 degrees on Hatchrite medium, they should hatch in about 70 days, we will then raise them up indoors over the winter and in the spring release them back to his pond, very well headstarted.
