Other Turtle Discussion :: uvb yes or no

[ginger98]

should i have a uvb in my nesting box where my female laid her eggs

[iac637]

yes

[jenaero]

If she's only in it an hour or two at a time I wouldn't bother.

[ginger98]

she already laid her eggs but do the eggs need the soil warm

[iac637]

are they fertilized???

[ginger98]

yes

[iac637]

they they should have been taken out of the dirt and put in an incubator right after they were laid.

[ginger98]

why

[iac637]

most people that hatch eggs put them in an incubator to hatch them because it is a controled environment. Why are you wanting them to hatch?

[ginger98]

how i make incubator

[iac637]

why do you want them to hatch

[ginger98]

y not

[iac637]

Because there are so many RES's that need good homes why hatch more if you want another turtle adopt one

[xsavingsaturdayx]

Exactly, I agree with iac637 there are too many of them and it's becoming a problem. I think the right thing to do is dispose of the egg's.

[ginger98]

ok
