Martens said he brought the turtle back home, performed secondary euthanasia, made his best attempt at a turtle C-Section, and got seven perfect eggs.
In a thread of Tweets, Eric C Martens revealed that he incubated the eggs after performing a c-section on the turtle.
Eggs have started to hatch, and three tiny turtles are already enjoying their life in the hands of Martens. He also shared the photo of a tiny turtle placed beside a coin, measuring just the same size as a quarter.
