Half Shell Hatch-A-Long! (Caution, unsuccessful, please read whole thread before attempting)

Good. Here she is right now. I just took off the wrap, I'm sitting here letting in some oxygen. You should be able to see her eye.View attachment 2163156

Be careful you don’t shrink wrap her from pulling it in and out all the time. You’re more at risk because the membrane isn’t protected by the shell.

This picture is amazing!

Thanks! She looks pretty dry. I hope she is ready to hatch soon, lol. Only 3 more days

Is she moving?

I put coconut oil on right after the pic. I let her "breathe" when I take off the wrap to oil the membrane. About 3 times a day.

Is she moving?

Yup! Very active. She blinks all the time. It's so cute.

Do you live in upper or lower MI? I am in the UP, and yesterday we peaked in the lower 90s'. Today is rather humid and drizzling, not hot at all.

I'm in the north eastern part of Michigan of the lower peninsula.
East Tawas.

I love it the closer to 100 the better

That's brutally hot.

I love it when it is in the 70s out. That's my favorite temp. 90s is SO hot.

Same here.
