Turtle Season Started!

109 Turtle Eggs

Yesterday, we woke up to big turtle tracks on the beach. As we followed the tracks, we found the turtle nest, where a turtle mama had laid her eggs, before returning to the sea. We counted 109 turtle eggs. They are now safely in our hatchery. Expected due date is beginning of September.

In early may we had a late-comer that laid eggs that hatched in June. Yesterday’s turtle egg laying marks the beginning of a new turtle season. Let’s hope for a good turtle season!

Here are a few images from the process.
