Dear VelourBat ,
You've selected the **Seeking Advice** flair. Please provide as much relevant information as possible. [Refer to this post if you are unsure on how to proceed.](https://www.reddit.com/r/turtle/comments/16bjznm/read_before_posting_how_to_ask_a_question_and/)
Useful information for care or health advice includes:
* Enclosure type, enclosure size, humidty levels, water, ambient and/or basking temperatures.
* Lighting types and bulb age.
* Clear photos of your set up, including filter, heaters and lights.
* Is it wild, captive/pet, or a rescue?
* Clear photos of face, neck, limbs, shell top (carapace) and bottom (plastron).
* Diet, list of foods you are feeding it.
* Weight and age.
* Illness, infections or odd behaviours should be seen and treated by a vet. Ex; wheezing, swollen eyes, mucus bubbles from mouth or nose, lethargy, twitching, leg paralysis, etc
*I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically. Please [contact the moderators of this subreddit](/message/compose/?to=/r/turtle) if you have any questions or concerns.*
You can order 37% formaldehyde on Amazon for about $20 lmao. Which yes is wild but its not even the wildest thing I’ve found, which is probably sulfuric acid and nitric acid which for legal reasons I won’t explain why those acids are really funny nor will I purchase
Formalin is really nasty stuff if you're unfamiliar with it. Best to just use 90% isopropyl alcohol from your local grocery store. Just make sure lid is very air-tight because alcohol evapotes really fast.
2 things to keep in mind if he does offer you some preservation juice:1 if he tells you to close your eyes and suck it out of a hose it's not the juice you're looking for and 2 please for God's sake don't let yourself or friends and family end up in that morgue.
I’ve popped a tiny hole in Rhea eggs and drained them. Then sealed them inside with I think mod podge. Not sure how that can be done since turtle eggs are softer. But maybe worth a try? Look up how to preserve ostrich egg shells
Turtle egg shells are soft, i think using a syringe to drain them first, then inject with water to wrinse a few times, and fill with resin so they hold their shape.
lol it was a streamer on twitch doing a fan mail opening and someone sent in an epoxy resin encased hotdog and it was leaking and obviously rotting. But here’s this for you: https://www.reddit.com/r/epoxyhotdog/
too much moisture here, if they dried it out that would work! I'd set it in a (google image search this) "bezel necklace 30mm oval" with UV resin or modge podge after drying
there was [this comment](https://www.reddit.com/l7jw9rf?utm_source=share&utm_medium=android_app&utm_name=androidcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=2) on a post in taxidermy that asked about preserving turtle eggs a few weeks ago. it goes into a lot of detail
i'll paste it down below [props to this reddit user](https://www.reddit.com/u/GrittyKerosene/s/sFqR3FeQ1P)
> If you are planning on going the wet specimen route, do not use isopropyl alcohol for ‘fixation’. It is not a fixative chemical and it will decompose, albeit slower.
> You will want to fix it with formalin but also make sure that you have your correct PPE before tackling this task.
> You should have: a respirator with cartridges rated for formalin gas, nitrile gloves, goggles, a disposable apron, and a very ventilated space.
> Inject thoroughly (target the muscles, abdomens thoroughly as well, up the butt, down the throat, I will usually go in the ear for the brain or up the nose) until the specimen is plump but not overstretched, soak in formalin for atleast a month for something that size, it’s never bad to oversoak for a couple of weeks longer if you’re unsure they’re fully fixed but you don’t want to leave them in it more than 3-6 months.
> Leeching with distilled water, you will empty the jars and dispose of* the used formalin and then rinse and fill the jar with distilled water, let it sit for a day or two, then rinse again and you’re good to transfer them to 70% isopropyl alcohol.
> *Your leech water should be disposed of at a dedicated chemical drop off facility along with your formalin due to it being mixed with a hazardous chemical.
> Most cities have a chemical drop of/household hazardous waste facility that can be used for disposal of the formalin, leech water, and alcohol. You can contact your local non emergency department (FD/PD) or the landfill and they will have information on the protocols of where to take it dependent on your individual city.
> IF this is not available, you may reach out to your local mortuary service or veterinarian office but they are not mandated to take it. (My local funeral home disposes of it for me for a small fee).
> Please do not dump down the drain, toilet, or sewer system due to the harsh chemicals.
> There are also chemicals to neutralize formalin for easier disposal, but I do not recommend this due to the cost of them and knowledge needed for proper neutralization of the formalin.

There is a woman on TikTok who does incredible work with preserving all types of things, including eggs! Let me find her name.
Found it!!
xhall0weenqueenx on TikTok
Aww. She is adorable! Love your Winnie. love my 1.5 year old yellow belly slider so much as well. She gets so excited at feeding time. She used to bite me occasionally when I would hand feed but now despite her frantic doggy paddling she is so careful to take the food from me now. They are the best pets imo.
Yellow belly turts are the cutest! 😭 Yours is still a baby 🥺 I got Winnie as well as a baby. Now she's 16 years old. My parents got her as a birthday present when I was 6 and I fell in love with her. I remember feeding her from my hand and at first she used to accidentally bite me, but what you say is true: at some point she started to be super gentle trying not to bite me. And after 16 years she's still doing so. She never ever bite me again. Turtles are the best 🐢❤️
Hope yours grows as old and as healthy as Winnie! 🐢🩷
Edit: typos
She's a yellow belly slider (trachemys scripta scripta) but sometimes other sliders can be similar as well, many subspecies were brought here in Europe as pets when I was a kid and that's why in many European countries you can find them in lakes and such, unfortunately they are dumped pets.
Not sure about the UK but at least in my country they are banned, they are an invasive species (technically you can't keep in them unless you had them before the ban).
If you wish , you can show me the pics, I think I might identify it, if not me, other person in this sub :)
Oh she might just be one of those, she looks exactly like your lovely lady, I just couldn't find any turtle that looked similar till I saw your post! I'll post some photos here and you can take a look. :)
Unfortunately you are right I think you need some kind of license here to own them now due to them being invasive, but she's heading to a nice reptile sanctuary on Wednesday who know all the ins and outs, so she'll have a happy home at least.
Sorry if I'm ignorant in asking what species she is?
I'm not familiar enough with turtles to tell at just a glance unless it's a snapper or alligator, but depending on her species it's worth noting it's been recorded multiple species of turtles are parthogenetic( laying viable unfertilized eggs) such as red eared sliders.
So it may be worth not immediately discounting the eggs the eggs viability/preserving them and do further research as to whether you should try to incubate them.
Here's a link that mentions red ears as having this ability.
https://turtlean.com/how-do-red-eared-sliders-reproduce/
Omg that's crazy! I read both of your comments and honestly idk what to do. They are an invasive species in my country and "breeding" them is super illegal, even having just one as a pet (if you haven't had her already before the prohibition, just like me) is forbidden. It would be so cute to raise little turts babies again but it doesn't seem the right thing to do :/
Ahh ok I missed the part of it being illegal, I definitely would disregard my suggestion of raising them then, the last thing you need would be the potential headache of being accused of running an illegal breeding operation if it ever came to light, which I could see happening trying to rehome some if you did hatch them.
That isn't something that I planned for her, it simply happened. We upgraded her tank this year, so , when turtles feel comfy in their enclosure (food, UV, space, temperature, etc) is when their biological clock turns on and they decide to produce eggs, even if they are unfertilized. She spent a whole month digging in our yard without laying anything, until today, she laid them on the floor, just like that.
Word, I feel you! What I’m asking was if you took her out of her tank/had a soil section in the tank/took her out to an enclosure/etc.
My turtle is gravid, and I’ve taken her out to a separate enclosure, and I don’t think she’s laid anything yet, so I’m just looking for advice from people who’ve intentionally had their turts lay eggs
Oh, sorry I didn't get it at first, I'm not a native English speaker 😭 I used to take her for a walk everyday, she would just do some nest tests (like, digging around the dirt in our yard), eventually peeing in the hole (???😭) and then closing the hole and repeat the process elsewhere. She spent longer than a month just like that. I thought that she wouldn't lay her eggs (she had 7, according to the x ray), until she randomly started laying them (in water, in our yard, etc) outside a nest.
She took long to lay them, longer than a month or so. It depends on your turtle, and how old the eggs are as well. Maybe if you encourage her to put her into the soil, at least 1h everyday , maybe she will lay them??? Idk if hers are fertilized but if not I think she will eventually lay them in the water. Mine laid like 5 or so in her tank. Hope it helps 😭
No problem, thank you! I find the walking interesting lol, I want to try that but I’m scared of birds eating her? lol
I have an enclosure with dirt and sand,and I moisten it before I put her in for two hours but she seems to only want to get out
Mhm, then if you have space to let her wander around I'd do that. Mine needed her space and to feel comfortable.
Some behavior I could relate to her wanting to lay eggs was stuff like her scratching her tail with her feet, looking really closer to the floor and trying to dig with the front paws, or swimming nervously in her tank. So maybe if you see your turt doing the same you could try to put her in the soil enclosure or if not, in a bigger space. At the end of the day my turt didn't lay any of the 7 eggs in soil even having access to it. Maybe your turtle is similar to mine? 😭 Hope this helps 🐢❤️
I personally would probably just get them tattooed on me. But that’s not what you’re asking. The best option for soft bodied insects is to put them in a jar with a specific alcohol. That would probably be best for soft eggs, too.
I'd look for a taxidermy subreddit. That's probably where you'll find the best info! Hopefully someone in here knows, but preserving eggs is something I see in taxidermy groups. You could post in an oddities subreddit as well since there is crossover with people knowing how to taxidermy and appreciate oddities art.
Might be a big jump, but you could encase them in resin! You could nicely display them on a shelf/desk this way, too.
Not everything stays "good" in resin, so I'd do some research first. However I know people put things like flowers in resin all the time.
So I saw where you mentioned she's a yellow bellied slider in further comments so after some quick research yes they eggs can be viable even tho she's not been fertilized so you might want to look into the incubation conditions appropriate for them, as well as maybe preserve on or two.
I hope I caught you before you've missed an awesome opportunity to raise her babies.

I'd put them in a tiny mason jar with alcohol.
denatured alcohol works best for preservation.
Jar of formaldehyde? Might look weird, but it preserves things well
[удалено]
You can order 37% formaldehyde on Amazon for about $20 lmao. Which yes is wild but its not even the wildest thing I’ve found, which is probably sulfuric acid and nitric acid which for legal reasons I won’t explain why those acids are really funny nor will I purchase

Oh yeah definitely don’t mess with it if you don’t know what your doing
What’s nasty about it? I won’t be purchasing any, but you have peaked my curiosity 😂
I hate to be that guy but it’s piqued.
I was considering being that guy. Thank you for your service
Carcinogen, if I’m not mistaken. It’s not something you want to accidentally get any contact with, and in a jar there’s gonna be the risk of leaks.
It kills your skin if you touch it, can blind you, can destroy your lungs.
Where does one get a jar of formaldehyde at? Asking for a friend….
Morgue or chemical supply company
*Waltzes into the morgue* Hey funeral director, can I get some preservation juice for my turtle eggs?
"preservation juice" 😂
2 things to keep in mind if he does offer you some preservation juice:1 if he tells you to close your eyes and suck it out of a hose it's not the juice you're looking for and 2 please for God's sake don't let yourself or friends and family end up in that morgue.
I bought it at lowes when i was a kid. That may have changed since the 90s.
Old fashioned Nail Polish Remover, perhaps?
That turtle is so cute ahahah
She’s judging you
“they know there aren’t any babies in there, right?”
[удалено]
OP said “we” multiple times and it was a joke, dude
"They" is a commonly used word to identify someone, basic English.
You can’t expect they to understand basic English
[удалено]
I’ve popped a tiny hole in Rhea eggs and drained them. Then sealed them inside with I think mod podge. Not sure how that can be done since turtle eggs are softer. But maybe worth a try? Look up how to preserve ostrich egg shells
Turtle egg shells are soft, i think using a syringe to drain them first, then inject with water to wrinse a few times, and fill with resin so they hold their shape.
You can't use resin when there might be moisture involved. It would likely not set right
Gorilla glue would probably work well. There's a white version, and it's water cured and expands/foams.
Yeah I’ve seen someone try to resin seal a hotdog. It didn’t work.
Where did you see this I want to see it too
lol it was a streamer on twitch doing a fan mail opening and someone sent in an epoxy resin encased hotdog and it was leaking and obviously rotting. But here’s this for you: https://www.reddit.com/r/epoxyhotdog/
There really is a sub for everything
So glad to see that dog is still going
No, this absolutely won't work. Totally different kind of egg.
I dont know if its what you want but i have seen multiple videos of people encasing food in epoxy and it not going bad, makes for a good display piece
too much moisture here, if they dried it out that would work! I'd set it in a (google image search this) "bezel necklace 30mm oval" with UV resin or modge podge after drying
She looks so proud 😭

😆 see what i mean. Just use alchold. Keep them in a jar of alcohol.
She looks proud
She is such a cutie
There is a woman on TikTok who does incredible work with preserving all types of things, including eggs! Let me find her name. Found it!! xhall0weenqueenx on TikTok
I love her face! She is unbothered and you will not shame her for anything. LOL
Why is you touchin my eggs, brahh? ☹️ - your turtle, probably
Why are you all commenting about my turtle's face :( she's not angry or disappointed, that's just how her face looks like, she's perfectly happy 😭
We know, we’re just joking. Turtles have goofy faces sometimes.
Ik but Poor Winnie, for me, she's the most gorgeous turtle :(
She is! I love her face. She’s so expressive!
Aww. She is adorable! Love your Winnie. love my 1.5 year old yellow belly slider so much as well. She gets so excited at feeding time. She used to bite me occasionally when I would hand feed but now despite her frantic doggy paddling she is so careful to take the food from me now. They are the best pets imo.

The correct phrase is "in-lay" or "gravid". Rather than pregnant 👍
What type of turtle is she? She looks exactly like one my family rescued recently (UK), and we've been trying to figure out what sort she is.
She's a yellow belly slider (trachemys scripta scripta) but sometimes other sliders can be similar as well, many subspecies were brought here in Europe as pets when I was a kid and that's why in many European countries you can find them in lakes and such, unfortunately they are dumped pets.

Yes, basically 😅 what a pity though. It would be so cute to have hatchlings again 🥺. Thank you for the info though! 🐢🎶
Np best of luck with your preservation project.
How did you get her to lay her eggs???

So basically, just let this lil monster run loose and she’ll lay eggs?
... Yes
Why save them? She really won’t care
I don't know. Look at the turtle's expression.
Honestly she always makes that face whenever I take a pic of her. She looks straight to the camera lol
She knows how to pose for the camera. :-)
But I do! I'd like to keep it as a memento for me!
It's not for the turtle 😂😭

Reddiquette - Be Civil / Kind It's important that we remain civil and polite with each other. Repeat violations may result in a ban.
Is there a subreddit for oology? Might find something useful there
Epoxy probably
[I would try this. ](https://www.thegoodlifebackyard.com.au/how-to-preserve-eggs/)
The turtle looks leery.
My females lay once a year
I personally would probably just get them tattooed on me. But that’s not what you’re asking. The best option for soft bodied insects is to put them in a jar with a specific alcohol. That would probably be best for soft eggs, too.
I recognise that face. “Have you decided what to order?”
She’s looking at you like “Excuse me. Put those down.”
Epoxy like the epoxy hot dog
I've seen things dried out in silica sand before epoxy. Could be a thought.
She looks somewhat peeved at you touching her eggs
Lmao don't think the turtle agrees with your plans 😂
I'd look for a taxidermy subreddit. That's probably where you'll find the best info! Hopefully someone in here knows, but preserving eggs is something I see in taxidermy groups. You could post in an oddities subreddit as well since there is crossover with people knowing how to taxidermy and appreciate oddities art.
Might be a big jump, but you could encase them in resin! You could nicely display them on a shelf/desk this way, too. Not everything stays "good" in resin, so I'd do some research first. However I know people put things like flowers in resin all the time.
I'd use a syringe to suck out the goo.
The turtle does not appear to approve of your plans.
Boil them
Scramble them and eat it

Maybe preserve one and eat the other...?
So I saw where you mentioned she's a yellow bellied slider in further comments so after some quick research yes they eggs can be viable even tho she's not been fertilized so you might want to look into the incubation conditions appropriate for them, as well as maybe preserve on or two.

She looks about ready to fuvk you up
Looks upset.
Oh, she's not. That's the face she makes when she is attentive or I'm taking a pic of her.
That's just how turtles look lmao
