78 days ago, a momma turtle graced us with her eggs. I built a little cage to protect them from predators. Today, the first egg hatched!!!

    They are such beautiful creatures, just let them graze , mind where you step , in had a few of them last year that lived around my garden, they eat my lettuce, but it was nice to have there presence.

    Can I ask what region your in? We have two spots we’re patiently waiting hoping their fertile and we’re in the south east. Your cage is so awesome!!!

    I’d check who the father is, those little one’s back look like on a snapping turtle.

  8. One of the coolest things I remember from my childhood was when our “pet” eastern box turtle that hung around all the time laid eggs in our front garden. It was so exciting when they hatched! Its been 20 years and we still see a pair of them every year during mating season, for some reason they have date night in our yard haha

    I fucking love turtles. I wish the turtle distribution system would bless me in this way! Congrats on your godkids!

  11. My dad passed and I’ve been grieving with disfranchised grief for a long time and I’m trying to mourn and I see this and that was something that he brought into my life that I very much feel called to with my environmental action. Thank you for sharing this.

    So cool! Thanks for sharing.

    The turtle box is so cute.I would keep it in the garden as a memory of the turtles of ’25.

  15. This is amazing!! My yard just has squirrels, bunnies, mice and wasps. We are going to build a dragonfly sanctuary next year, I hope we can do a good job with it! I love your turtle family!!!
