I opened up the brown egg that was 71 days old and it was fertile but stopped developing at a very early stage.I recall that this egg really didn't change in size during the incubation period.This was 1 of 2 eggs from the first batch the other split open around day 36 with a dime size turtle in it,I was keeping the vermiculite to wet on this batch.The second batch of 4 eggs 3 turned white and one looks like the brown egg from the first batch ,so I'm figuring that this one has probably stopped developing also,but I'm going to leave it incubating until it's completly brown and sunk in just to be sure,1egg from this batch also split open early from this batch.Hopefully the 2 eggs that appear to be fine and still seem to be gaining and loosing moisture will hatch in a few days(fingers crossed).Ed I want to Thank you for all of your help.If they hatch I'm going to name one Ed,if it wasn't for you and the nice people on this forum I would still be in the dark.Once again Thanks.I'll post pictures if and when they hatch.Thanks jason mills
