Taking care of your turtle's overall health.

Hi all! I've had RES and Painted turtles for a few years now, but am dealing with eggs for the first time. My larger female laid 3 clutches this summer, totaling 22 eggs. Of those, only 2 remain. :( Those two look ok, have great blood vessels and when I held a flashlight to them the other night I could see movement. I assume that means there is a hatchling in there? These eggs are at 63 days today, at temps. from 80-84. I guess I just don't know what to expect, any info is greatly appreciated. I'm hoping to have at least one hatchling, especially since we no longer have the mama. Thanks guys, I'm off to read more posts!
