So I got home today and check on my turtles downstairs in my custom indoor ponds and notice one of my adult female RES was laying eggs so I left the room to not disturb her. I have never had a turtle lay eggs so do not know whats best to do for them. Should i leave them there or should I take them out and incubate them? I think it would be getting ti incubate them because the room/sand might not be warm enough to support the eggs needs of heat. Can anyone give me a good idea on how to make an incubater or set them up so I can hatch these into nice healty babies?? I would love any help I can get so please help me out.

This is late, so I hope you'll visit here again. You can take the eggs outside and bury them about 5-6" in a semi-shady spot. Put a mesh wiring fence around it. They should hatch, but if not by Oct/Nov, dig them up and see if they aren't but hibernating through the winter.
