- Quick video on how i made my turtle egg incubator. As you guys know ive made different ones in the past, but its the same thing. The only thing that has changed throughout the years is the container its self.

I have an outdoor pond and my biggest female layed 12 eggs and all of the babies survived.
depending on temps outside and if the turtles are native to your location they can do their own incubating like in the wild.
xhellboundx yeah I was surprised they survived lol they are also red ear sliders.
oh Adrien they are pretty hardy
oh Adrien I
ADRYAN my snapping turtle laid eggs and 8 survived I kept one
At first I thought the thumbnail said "quick and tasty" and I was scared
haha lol
Wtf lol
My uncle joked when I was showing our turtles “oh they’re big enough? Now we can cook them!” Of course .. I was mortified
@@zandermercury9308. lol my grampa did with my rabbits.
LOL
Thanks Steph, your DIY incubator saved my turtles life
I 100% recommend cutting a square in the front and then covering it with a clear sheet of plastic (apoplexy glass works great for this or you can use glass from a picture frame) Then add a thermostat that shows temperature and humidity. It is extremely important to make sure the temperature/humidity doesn't go too high or too low.
i have a turtle at home.. and he or she does not give a shit about my life..
I have 10 RES in my pond, and I don't think they care about you either. Now may be time to get a new life, LOL
@@shippingexpert not funny.....
Steve Finestone you really thought u did something
my hybrid Mississippi map turtle and RES Turtle might hatch now! it has never hatched before
OMG MR DANKK
I wish I had as many animals as you I'm getting a cat soon yay
Yay I hav asthma so I can't have furry cutebois but I ow a tortoise so yay
n
Good for you!,
Caught my turtles doin the giggity so now i need to get educated 😂 🤓
Don't forget to tell people not to rotate the eggs and place them the exact way they were when pulling them out. A felt tip marker should be used to mark the top.
Has she ever done a morning routine on what she does for the animals?
I just came across your chanel. 😍 and I started watching your videos since this morning haha I like your videos
OMG I just stared whaching your vids today and I Love them
This is so cute! Thank you for making these videos☺️☺️💘
OMG I love your videos I just started watching them!😀❤
I made mine similarly but with a short piece of heat tape instead of the tank heater hooked to a dinner switch. That way you don't need water and can just adjust the moisture in each individual container for whatever species you're incubating(I use it for colubrids, geckos, and turtles). This one will be great for aquatics, though.
Imagine your sibling accidentally kicked the incubator and the eggs fell and then you can't do anything but cry yourself to sleep
That's when you know it's time to drop them off at the orphanage
@@bigsam8597 🤣🤣🤣 yep!
ohh your turtles are so cute love you steff 💜🐢
Thanks for the idea I didn't have a real incubator and my snakes had eggs ( I wasn't sure if the new one was a male) but that confirmed it lol. I made this within 4 hours ( I had complications with the materials) and changed it a little by putting a thermohydro meter in the container with the eggs in peat moss and in exactly 2 months of letting humidity out twice a day and wiping off mold I can proudly say I have 20 new baby corn snakes :D only 2 didn't fully develop but that's not bad so I'm glad you put this Idea up because I don't think that wouldn't been possible otherwise thank you again and as an update the 20 hatchlings (some) ate their first meal tonight after a few weeks of giving them the chance too I'm so happy!
hey Steff J I know you have had this video up for a while now but I got the chance to build one and incubate 23 Eastern River Cooter eggs. yesterday 3 hatched and i still have at least 8 more that are developing well. they are the size of a quarter.
what if they lay the eggs in the water like mine does? can you catch them and do the same?
The hatchlings instinct isn't swim so they can drown
eggs laid in the water are generally not viable. But if you do have a male and there's a chance of fertilization, get them out immediately as the egg will drown. It's never a bad idea to go ahead and try to save them and incubate em.
Alan Palmer what about if they were half way water? Say shallow water not completely covered but halfway?
great video and I look forward to your next one. Thanks so much for sharing
I’m trying to cross breed my eastern painted with my Mississippi map but, did you have to keep adding water to the soil while they were in there or did it stay moist? How long does it usually take and do you know if these two kinds can cross
Hi Steff, can i replace the soil with mix vermiculate+perlite? and how long it takes to hatch? thank you ^_^
I enjoy steffs videos I love all your pets!! And she takes good care of tgem😁💖
5:57 It’s says A*s Heater..😂😂😂😂
U never see finish,its glass heater but her camera shows it as ass heater
did anyone read that it said " ass heater " 😂😂😂😂😂
Isis Sánchez yes read that... 😂😂😂

Yup
OMG I SAW THAT TOO!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

@Stedd J Hello Steff, I have a question, How long was your turtles incubation period? Btw, thanks for sharing this information with us, my turtle laid an egg and is on his/her way to be born at the end of July this year!
I love your videos 😊
How long does it take for the eggs to hatch? Also how often do you check them?
How many days the eggs takes to hatch?
what was the name of the heater?
Glass Heater aka. Ass Heater
Your just Amazing ❤️❤️❤️❤️ I love all your videos
that intro was on point👌👌👌👌 !!😂😂😂😂😂
I'm going to give this method a try....hope it works! Thankyou!
Did it work
Hello, I am trying to incubate tortoise egg in home made incubator. Humidity is about 75%. But I have to almost open the lid. Do you think that it is ok when the humidity is not changing and temperature is 29°c with almost opened lid. Or i should try make more holes and let it closed? I don't know what to do.
I love your turtle videos😍😍😍. In the future can you make a video about what you feed your turtles. I personally have 1 red eared slider and some other pets but only one turtle. Thank you for reading!
Hey I made one these incubators at home just wanted to know did your incubator form a bit of mould on the container that the eggs are in because mine has just started to know can you please let me know if I'm doing anything wrong please
at what stage do you transfer them to the water under the container?
We're! I love your vids! I love when you saved those animals! hour so kind to them! I wish I was were you love so I can take all the person that need homes! your the best!
Kitten/cat video please! Love your videos so much! ❤️
Do you need to spray water to damp the soil or will it already be damp or moist?
Great info and tips quick where or what kind of heater did you use
OMG TURTLE :D turtles are so KOOL
What's the name of that heater and what is it looking for online as an electric heater and I can not find it
Search for it as "aquarium heater"
Love ur videos ❤️❤️
Hey great video but had a question would this work for tortoise eggs ?
Really you brilliant love this project
Steff can I use any other box?!
If yes please tell what ?!
I just seen an egg inside my turtles water. i don't have a strofom container so what are some other container like that could I use
the music makes me think of a zoo lol
Good information 👌
How many days it takes to the turtle baby comes out ?
3 months ago a red ear slider laid eggs in my yard . Dug a hole in hard clay soil . The drought has made the soil hard as a rock . Yesterday I delicately dug to the eggs and some were hatching . I moved the clutch in a bucket and buried them in potting soil .Placed the bucket on a heating pad set to medium . Four have hatched . I moved them to a plastic tub with an inch of water and an island . Am I messing up ?
The closest water source is a creek about 75 yds away and across a busy street . I plan on releasing them , maybe keep a couple as pets . I dont think they would have been able to dig themselves out of the baked clay soil and make it to the creek .
U are soooo beautiful and so caring for animals I love it 😍
What kind of soil did you use? I would love too know.
I tried thermocol incumbator as per your video, but water coming r egularly from thermocol and filing gap daily, is it right way? Pl advise immediately
That's brilliant ........ 👍........
thank you for helping me for school work. 😄😄😄
omg your turtles are so cute
Hola 👋👋Steff oye el agua toca el otro molde como si fuera a baño María? Y siempre los dejas tapados?
Can someone who knows please answer a turtle question I have? I have painted turtle eggs that I’ve had since the first or second week of June and I candle them every couple days. When I put the light on the bottom of the egg the top half is black and there is a lot of movement inside. I have no idea what it’s supposed to look like when they’re about to hatch or how to know if they’re really close to hatching? The whole egg isn’t dark just about half of the egg is and it looks like they’re moving there limbs or something when I candle them
How many gallons is your tank in the background? Are they for the turtles?
😊😊😊😊I just subscribed loved it 😊😊😊☺️☺️
Hey steff I have also to baby ťùřtľé so what I can do for them to keep them healthy
Will Pearl light work I heard that’s OK with turtles but will that work with this?
Looks like the tank is progress for a salt water tank? Always a good idea to cycle the rock to avoid any ammonia coming off it. Salt water is amazing but a lot of work.
I just wanna say to the pair who may not have these stuff just use a plastic box and a heating pad instead of foam and a heater and create a little viewing hole by cutting some fabric and gluing it onto of a hole that u created with the box thank you
I was keeping my pet turtle after finding her in the wild and injured, and finally let her go a few days ago. The next day I found her eggs... I did my research ofc, and I’m pretty sure they aren’t doing well. They are all dented and I found them sitting totally underwater, but I knew they were very recently laid so I tried to save them. I’m so worried tho.. any thoughts? Should I even try at this point?
My pair of reeves turtle are mating. How would i know if it's successful? My females reeves is in a refrigerator tub outdoor enclosure with a male wbt and yst. They have a basking platform with lots of soil (mostly moist) and she loves digging to rest. How would I know if she will be laying eggs?
I got the eggs out of the nest because I noticed that every time one of our red-eared sliders would go and lay her eggs cats would go and dig them up and eat the eggs. We're talking like no less than 14 nests that I know of
Hello Does the method apply to wild turtles as well?
So my red ear slider likes to wedge herself between the tank and her "tanning bed" aka her basking rock and I was wondering if that was normal?
Can u also use this for greek land turtles (hope I wrote it right) ?
How many times do your turtles have babies a year ?
@MossyWater when do they lay there eggs
I love your videos so much plz go ahead
I love your hair!👧

PLEASE HELP
Hey steff how long is the hatching process
I need help, at a public lake there was snapping turtle eggs but it looks like someone thought they washed up so they were thrown in the lake we brought home two will they make it even though they were in the water without much oxygen
My cat was watching this with me! Lol
What temperature do you leave the water heater at
Love ❤️ ur kindness
O M G where did you get that heater? It looks easy and simple.
Ivy Liu every fish store has them
Does the water need to touch the container with the eggs
Oh my god it really works I can't imagine
+have never seen any of her videos+

How long do you have to wait to see if the eggs are fertilize
What do you feed them once they hatch
