I posted this on a different forum but thought some here would get a kick out of the pics. I am not going into the whole story here but I had to use my buddies cell pics he took the day of the event because I am too dumb to check my camera for the chip when I leave the house. In total he removed 210 eggs and there were MANY, MANY, hatched out already. He took 90 home in a tub (thought it was 70-80 but some were burried) and they hatched and were released. A makeshift nest was made for the rest and I have not been back to see how that did yet but he did an awesome job and I shot it with a temp gun and it was the same temps as the soil in the stump. (79)
To clarrify, these were saved as a large tree was cut down that was dead and very close to his neighbors house. Last yr he saved tons of hatchings, this yr the guy was pulling the stump and he also was able to find eggs. Glad the neighbor did not just kill them and glad my buddy and his family did what they did.
