Urgent Care :: Help! Eggs!

[EtCaWhJa]

Please help me! I have red-eared sliders who just laid eggs in water. I moved them to my fish tank so they aren't crushed. I need to know what to do to ensure they hatch successfully, if it is not to late. What do I need to do?

You will need to find a way to incubate them, however it might be too late if they've been in the water too long:

Thanks. I fear it is too late, but I have put them heads up with tops sticking out of dirt that is sand and fine dirt mix

Heads up as in straight up and down?

[EtCaWhJa]

No, I put them tilted into soil that stays at a costant temperature that is 75 degrees Fahrenheit.

Whoa you need to bump the temps up. Thats kinda low. 81 degrees and lower produces all male turtles. 82-84 produce mixed and anything 85 or more produces females with greater to have shell deformities. You dont wanna gonna lower then 78degrees. I always aim for 83degrees.
