Hi! I'm Jeff Dixon and I recently rescued some RES turtle eggs from roadkill. A trucker hit her right in front of me before I could save her and she turned out to be pregnant so I gathered all the eggs that weren't split and I really need to know if they'll live after that. I have 6 of them in an incubator set to 83 degrees Farenheit and resting around 80% humidity. I really need feedback. PLEASE HELP!!

I don't know much about incubation, but it sounds like you're on the right track. This site would have more information on the topic: http://www.tortoisetrust.org/articles/a ... l#breeding

I was just curious since they'd been tossed around a little from the accident if they'd be okay.

No way to be certain yet, but it shouldn't be long to know if they're still viable or not.
