I'm sure I have at least one male in the pond. The carpace on that one is larger than the others and the toes/fingernails on the front legs are longer than the other turtles.
I brought the sand box with the laid eggs inside and kept it to the correct temp with a heat lamp. The only thing I didn't do...and I think it was the mistake, I needed to keep the sand moist (as the ground would if they were laid naturally)
After giving them twice the normal time to hatch...I gave up and cracked one of them open and there was a dried-up skeletal remains of a young turtle.
So..I'm sure they were fertilized.
