Poor Marvin…she must have been so tired! Good job!

[@Cdees57]

Wow that's awesome! Congrats Marv may have gone back and laid more in the hole after you took the eggs. She was working very hard to cover the hole.

So I just finished the video and that it was a very cool set up you have for the eggs! Evidently you have a male tortoise lol 5 to 14 months that’s quite a stretch? Very very interesting can’t wait to see what happens! I really enjoyed this video what a fun family you have! 😊👍🧶🐢

I agree Char Murry! 👍 Thank you! 🌺🌻🌸

[@christakelley2599]

Glad you shared this with us. I enjoyed it very much. I shared it with my 9 year old granddaughter. She enjoyed it too. Thank you so much. I don’t know anything about tortoises either, but I would think you need a male and a female to have eggs to lay. Thank you again for sharing.

[@SYAfterparty]

Oh I am so glad you enjoyed it, Christa Kelley!! Thank you! 🌷🌺🌷

[@pamsheets2939]

Marv knew the babies would be safe with your family 💗💗 🐢 Can’t wait to see how the incubation goes!!

[@SYAfterparty]

Hi, Pam Sheets!! Thank you! 🌻🌺🌼

[@sallymartin581]

Very cool! Just curious why they couldn't stay where the tortoise laid them.

[@michellecronmiller7036]

Such a meiracle

[@SYAfterparty]

I agree Michelle Cronmiller! 👍 Thank you! 🌺🌻🌸

[@kimyearyean520]

OMG!!! I finally watched this!!! Marvs a girl!! 🥰🥰🥰 so exciting … I need an update … what’s going on with the eggs!!!???? And what’s the deal … only if they’re fertilized will it be a turtle!!!??? I’m so curious and so excited!!! Way to go Marv!!!!!!

[@SYAfterparty]

Hi, Kim Yearyean!! Yes - I think so! Oscar had his way with Marvin a few weeks before, so chances are they are fertilized. But not sure... first timer here! lol Eggs are sitting in the incubator. Which reminds me - gotta refill that bottle today. :D 🌻🌺🌼

[@isobelwilson8822]

So fascinating, thanks for sharing.

[@SYAfterparty]

Oh I am so glad you enjoyed it, Isobel Wilson!! Thank you! 🌷🌺🌷

[@KrissD.]

This is amazing 🤩 I know it’s an old video but I still really enjoyed. I do have some questions though 🤪 First.. at the end of video here.. you actually caught her laying the eggs so did she lay extra eggs after what you took out? Cause in beginning when you ran outside at night and discovered she had.. she had already done so 😛 Second.. how did that dirt turn into all loosy goosey mud ? Did she do that somehow? Third… why do you have to remove the eggs quickly and then incubate yourself instead of leaving them out there for her to do what she does? Can’t she take care of the eggs since she buried them? 😜🤪 Fourth.. how did you know she was done lol laying them all? lol 😂 And won’t she have missed them after you took them out? Notice they were gone and feel post pardoned? Lol 😂🤭 Fifth.. how long do the eggs incubate till they hatch? 😛 Thank you so much for sharing this with us. 😚 💜🥰💜

[@eldamogil6807]

How awesome was that!! I hope they hatch. Thank you for sharing with us.

[@SYAfterparty]

Me too, Elda mogil! Thank you! 🌷🌸🌷

Oh my goodness Christa, this is so exciting. Thank you so much for sharing!!

[@SYAfterparty]

Oh I am so glad you liked it, Jo Pena! Thanks!🌻🌺🌼

[@carpediem.9]

Marvin is definitely a Marvette hehe so cute how she does all the work with her back paws :)) Also if there's no male with her the eggs won't be fertile so no babies will hatch sadly.

[@SYAfterparty]

Thank you, Sophie! We did have a "baby daddy drive by"... his name is Oscar. Will have to introduce you to him this week coming! 🌈🌼🌸

[@carpediem.9]

@@SYAfterparty aw then I am crossing fingers for all the eggs to hatch 🐣 😄🤍

[@PamPamelasCreations]

This was so wonderful to watch. Thank you Christa

Oh I am so glad you enjoyed it, Pamela's Creations!! Thank you! 🌷🌺🌷

[@lornagowan8752]

This is so exciting. So you’ve had Marv for 15 years and she’s never laid eggs before? I don’t know anything about tortoises. But doesn’t there need to be a male? I’m going to have to read up on this. It very interesting. So happy I got to see it. Thanks for sharing.

[@SYAfterparty]

Hi, Lorna Gowan!! Yup. First time. My husband rescued a male leopard tortoise a month or so ago... we thought he was being a bully to our sweet ol' Marv... guess not. ;) 🌻🌺🌼

Hi, SASSY GRANNY VLOGS.!! Thank you! 🌻🌺🌼

[@Sassygrannyvlogs]

@@SYAfterparty ur welcome

[@pattallant2398]

So I’m just now at the point in the video where you are putting the eggs in a different dish in the office. If both tortoises are female the egg certainly won’t be fertilized right? I’ll keep watching and see what you say about that. Very exciting though right!?

[@SYAfterparty]

Hi, Pat Tallant!! The hubs rescued a male leopard tortoise a month or so ago... we thought he was being a bully to our sweet ol' Marv... guess not. HA HA HA 🌻🌺🌼

[@highlyblessedame]

Oh so cool. Thank you for to sharing! What kind of incubator is that?

[@SYAfterparty]

Hi, Autumn Eidson!! It's for poultry eggs. ;) Thank you! 🌻🌺🌼

[@tinalawrence7491]

That is so cool!! How would they get fertilized?

Hi, Tina Lawrence!! The hubs rescued a male leopard tortoise a month or so ago... we thought he was being a bully to our sweet ol' Marv... guess not. ;) 🌻🌺🌼

It takes that long to hatch a Tortoise egg?

[@ritadaniels3175]

So are U going to try to keep them to hatch them?

[@SYAfterparty]

Hi, Rita Daniels!! Yes. If they are fertilized, and all goes well. 🌻🌺🌼

[@ddflinn2721]

No male to mate, then eggs are not fertile. No need to incubate

[@SYAfterparty]

[@marcelarntz-d6u]

Owner is not very clever !! She has 2 females….so these eggs are not fertile !!! No need to incubate these eggs

[@SYAfterparty]

Thanks for your feedback, @user-df2kf6hf8o! ...might not explain the 58 hatchlings, though. Lol Probably should do an update video. Thank you! 🌴🍨✨
