Interesting. Incredibly gory (especially right after enjoying a large meal), but great information.

Reminds me of a turtle that was cleaned when I was little on a farm, the turtle (not rare at all in that area, btw) was full of eggs, which were tossed in the compost pile.

Apparently the heat of the compost was just right, because a few weeks later we had tiny turtles crawling all over the farm.

I’d completely forgotten about that until I saw these egg “strands” photos.

I agree with the other commenters. Please keep on posting. These are very educational especially for a guy like me who is clueless about terrapins. I’m learning a lot and pretty much getting more curious about the subject.
