I have seen a ton of adult females and hundreds of hatchlings this year. In the past ten years I have only seen a handful for sale, are they being farmed? At any rate I have 10 hatchling on the way!

Congrats on the baby spotted. They are the best turtle ever aren't they? I had thirty eggs this year but a very, very STUPID mistake killed most of my eggs. When my females were gravid I use potting soil insted of top soil. I think the chemicals in the soil killed the eggs. Only the eggs that were laid in top soil hatched. I feel like a dumb a** but a hard lesson learned. The one good thing was that the 30 eggs came for only five females and it was only the second breeding year for 3 of them.
