QuestionMy turtle that we caught just hatched 6 eggs and we dont know if they have to be on land in order to be alive. What do we do? Is it safe for them to hatch under water?
AnswerEggs laid in water are not going to hatch. Turtles do this all the time- don't worry about it!
If you want to try to breed the turtles, try the articles at http://www.redearslider.com for Red-ears, or http://www.austinsturtlepage.com for most other species.
