Turn, turn, turn
On this big blue marble.
Here is how I spent an hour today...
I explained to my littlest kiddo that had it not been his "no electronics" day he never would have even noticed it.

(a good day to see new life in the making)
Great pics Lil. Were those taken on an exploratory outing or an observed happenstance?
Is the nest in a location you could easily monitor it for the hatching?

Kiddo came running in, "mom you got to see this" (does anyone remember the 4 foot iguana he found?) so I run/creep out there to find her digging a hole across the street. The house is vacant but owned. Supposedly it takes 3 months to hatch and the likelihood is that the raccoons will get to them first.

Lil, go to Home Depot and buy some stuff that chases pests like raccoons away. You spray it and the scent forces them to move on. That will give those little turtles a chance to at least hatch.
Cool stuff!

It was very humbling watching her dig and dig and dig, deeper and deeper, trying to dig deep enough to keep her babies safe. She had more compassion for her babies than some human parents do.

Let's see
key words, "accross the street" ...... "vacant" ...... "creep" ....."shovel"

ppfffftt
ok, I wouldn't put them in the neighbor's garden, I'd have them in an aquarium, tucked nice and sound in the same kind of earth that the momma had buried them in. They'd be a nice Halloween present

If more people looked at it that way...well, I shouldn't go there.
Amazing experience to share with your children. Way cool!

I did some reading cause I thought I'd just dig it all up and use it at school but what I read said that the eggs can't roll. If they turn they are ruined.

Ooooh, a momma box turtle.
Don't use the chicken wire: the racoons will fairly easily get through it, and if the turtle hatch and the chicken wire isn't torn up by then, it most likely will tear them up when they dig their way out of the nest.
In actuality, you shouldn't dig up the nest & incubate the eggs on your own. There's a good reason that's not kosher without a permit.
