The Big Idea

Delicate Babies

Step one: Delicate Babies. Inside a reptile egg, the baby is attached to the shell lining in a delicate way. Moving or turning the egg can hurt the baby.

Stay Away

Step two: Stay Away. If you find a nest or eggs outdoors, stay away and tell a grown-up. Wildlife experts know how to protect them.

Left in Place

Step three: Left in Place. Leaving eggs where they are keeps the baby safe until it hatches. Eggs are happiest when left just as they were found.
