I think it would be safe to assume that a forum devoted to chickens would probably not be the best place to advertise handbags...

Or nice shoes.

I did the opposite

Started with cats but found out My Sweet Hubby was extremely allergic and it was triggering his Asthma so switched to Shell babies since they don't shed

Ok I have to ask..... you are incubating these turtle eggs. You can buy & ship eggs ? Can you ship live turtles ? Is there a thread and info on this ? Curious mind here wants to know...

Regrettably you can't ship tortoise or turtle eggs! If you move them even slightly they die! You basically have 24 hours after the egg is laid to move it very carefully to the incubator for incubation. The incubation can take from three months to almost a year

If you think it's agonizing waiting 21 days try hatching a Central American Ornate Wood Turtle egg

They can go into Diapause and literally just sit there till they feel like hatching

You don't rotate them like chicken eggs. Here is a youtube video of my little Salameo hatching

and one of his Mom Senorita Lucita laying his egg

I do ship my tortoises though.
