I've got one good turtle egg, hopefully in 2-3 months I'll have a drop dead gorgeous baby ornate wood turtle. This is my first real good egg so it's a big deal. REALLY big deal as this species is not easy to hatch.

What's a kicker, this egg was laid in June...I didn't think it was going to develop at all. I checked them 3 days ago and there's VEINS! Red structured lines going to the to air pocket on top for oxygen exchange and on one end of the egg there's a little lump which might be my turtle baby! WOOOO!!!!!!
