Mystery eggs 2012

Last year I had 2 clutches of mystery eggs. Not many people knew for sure what was coming from those eggs. Here is a refresher in case you missed it:



clutch 1:





all but 1 went bad





mystery egg pipping





worm snake





clutch 2:









5 lined skink:





Now this years entry:





I do know that these are from a turtle/tortoise, but that is all I know. I will document them as things develop. Any ideas?

Eastern Box, I'm guessing. I love these threads.

I was thinking the same thing, but whe he showed me how big the turtle/tortoise that dug the hole was, it would be a HUGE box turtle. He went on to say the turtle had white spts that were glowing in the moon light.

So these are field collected eggs?

From the descriptionn of the turtle, I would have to say it's a spotted turtle (clemmys guttata).

So these are field collected eggs?

They are, Rowan Co. NC

Then I say spotted turtle. Wish I could find some eggs.

The worm snake is killing me with its cuteness!

Did this years eggs hatch?

No Kim, they didnt. I candled them and there was nothing there, they started to mold pretty bad.


But the other group I found did:

Eastern Box Turtles
