I finally got so concerned about my little hatchlings that I decided to dig into the nest and see what was up. I thought maybe the dirt was packed in too hard from all the rain, that maybe they couldn't make their way out. I carefully dug down, layer by layer, imagining that I was an archeologist trying not to destroy what might what lie beneath the soil.
Alas, I found nothing. Not a baby turtle, not an egg, nothing that appeared in the least
bit turtle-y.
Was she shooting blanks? Did the eggs disintegrate into the earth?
The mystery may never be solved.
