It's a yellow belly slider, 48:02.300 --> 48:05.966 align:left position:35% line:83% size:55% large female, probably the most common 48:06.066 --> 48:09.100 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5% turtle species we have here in South Carolina 48:09.200 --> 48:13.033 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5% throughout the spring. Not usually too much 48:13.133 --> 48:15.033 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5% later than this but spring and summer is when 48:15.133 --> 48:18.066 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5% they're typically nesting, and those females will come 48:18.166 --> 48:21.400 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65% up out of the water. Turtles have to lay 48:21.500 --> 48:23.866 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65% their eggs out of the water, so during that time 48:23.966 --> 48:25.866 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5% frame, they'll come out of the water find a suitable 48:25.966 --> 48:29.800 align:left position:22.5% line:89% size:67.5% place to lay those eggs 48:29.900 --> 48:31.966 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5% and it's always fun to watch the nest, 48:32.066 --> 48:34.000 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5% but they'll find a good spot if they're not 48:34.100 --> 48:36.100 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65% disturbed, they feel comfortable enough, they'll dig 48:36.200 --> 48:39.300 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75% a hole with their back feet, drop those eggs in there, 48:39.400 --> 48:42.966 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% bury them and be on their way. So, really cool 48:43.066 --> 48:45.133 align:left position:35% line:83% size:55% for anyone to experience and see those 48:45.233 --> 48:49.166 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65% turtles laying eggs. <Amanda> ...so even though they- 48:49.266 --> 48:52.800 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5% this turtle spends most of his life in or near the water, 48:52.900 --> 48:56.033 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5% I guess. They want a dry and higher place 48:56.133 --> 48:57.866 align:left position:30% line:89% size:60% ...for the eggs. 48:57.966 --> 49:01.000 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% Is that important for the eggs to safely develop? 49:01.100 --> 49:06.333 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60% Or -? >> Yes, so real interesting with turtles. 49:06.433 --> 49:09.433 align:left position:25% line:89% size:65% ...their hatchlings - 49:09.533 --> 49:11.766 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75% whether or not their males or females is determined by 49:11.866 --> 49:13.500 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% the temperature. We call it temperature dependent 49:13.600 --> 49:17.800 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5% sex determination, and where those females lay 49:17.900 --> 49:21.433 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5% their eggs is going to determine the temperature 49:21.533 --> 49:23.300 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5% at which they're incubated. So, if it's an open 49:23.400 --> 49:27.466 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5% area and the sun's shining down they maybe warmer, 49:27.566 --> 49:29.933 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65% and so you might get females. So, with the 49:30.033 --> 49:31.733 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5% majority of turtle species we have here in 49:31.833 --> 49:35.066 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5% South Carolina, warmer temperatures make females. 49:35.166 --> 49:37.866 align:left position:12.5% line:89% size:77.5% Cooler temperatures make males 49:37.966 --> 49:43.000 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65% and it's really just dependant on where that female 49:43.100 --> 49:44.033 align:left position:30% line:89% size:60% ...lays her eggs. 49:44.133 --> 49:46.500 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60% ...then, another advantage maybe to being 49:46.600 --> 49:49.933 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5% in more open, sunny habitat and warmer temperatures, 49:50.033 --> 49:53.666 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5% those eggs incubate a little bit quicker. 49:53.766 --> 49:55.500 align:left position:17.5% line:89% size:72.5% So, they're not exposed to 49:55.600 --> 49:58.266 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5% potential predators, while being in the ground as 49:58.366 --> 50:01.000 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75% long and they might come, and they might hatch sooner 50:01.100 --> 50:03.366 align:left position:15% line:89% size:75% and get into the water where, 50:03.466 --> 50:05.000 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5% even for hatchling turtles, it's not safe, 50:05.100 --> 50:08.033 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% but the water is a safer place than being up on land. 50:08.133 --> 50:10.266 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5% <Amanda> How many eggs do you suppose 50:10.366 --> 50:13.866 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60% a yellow bellied slider usually lays? 50:13.966 --> 50:16.233 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80% <Andrew> That's a good question. The number 50:16.333 --> 50:18.933 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5% of eggs any turtle can lay is going to be limited 50:19.033 --> 50:21.266 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60% by how much space it has. Right? 50:21.366 --> 50:24.033 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80% ...so yellow bellied sliders are a larger species. 50:24.133 --> 50:28.866 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5% They might have eight, maybe a dozen eggs, maybe more. 50:28.966 --> 50:30.700 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5% It also depends on how big those eggs are going 50:30.800 --> 50:32.700 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60% to be, different turtles have different 50:32.800 --> 50:37.533 align:left position:37.5% line:83% size:52.5% sized eggs. ...so it's going to vary, 50:37.633 --> 50:41.833 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% but they certainly, based on their size, can 50:41.933 --> 50:44.966 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% probably easily do ten or twelve eggs at a time. 50:45.066 --> 50:49.166 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75% <Amanda> ...and so when they emerge I guess it's a mad dash 50:49.266 --> 50:51.566 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% to try to get to safety, because, I mean here you got 50:51.666 --> 50:54.666 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% these little turtles and they don't know where the 50:54.766 --> 50:56.666 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% water is, but they got to figure it out and try 50:56.766 --> 51:00.500 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5% to get there pretty quick. <Andrew> They do.
