The turtle, and in this case she was a fairly large painted turtle, just digs a hole in the sand, positions her backside in the hole, and deposits the eggs. I forget how long it takes for eggs to hatch, but when it happens the little hatchlings, with shells about the size of a quarter, will dig their way out and head for the nearest water. <BR/><BR/>I love turtles.Debhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07879771115420282834noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10304963.post-1118120059642222482005-06-06T23:54:00.000-05:002005-06-06T23:54:00.000-05:00Love the day to day moments, like flipping through...Love the day to day moments, like flipping through snapshots.
