These guys can get quite big, can foresee some irresponsible owners releasing them in ponds once they grow big.. maybe you can screen those potential adopters and make sure they got the right equipment for the turtles first? |

Wow... Interesting. Maybe can consider donating to the zoo for their new river safari enclosure?

Following 3 videos are taken last Sunday when my female laid another 16 eggs.
Searching for nest spot
Digging the nest
Removing the eggs - got interrupted halfway due to rain so stop recording and hurried up on my egg collection.
This is an earlier video taken on the 19th Nov where she laid the 6 eggs which is kind of a small batch which leads to believe it could be from the Oct 26 batch which she did completely finish laying.
Finally a video of the embryo moving within the egg
These 2 pictures show the difference between one egg with embryo developing and one without. Last edited by zyblack; 20-12-2011 at 10:25 PM. |

i saw the turtle museum.. i think its really bad there.. better to give some to the zoo, i bet they will lead a better life..
am also sure some of the bros here have big pond which can house them.. maybe you'd like to vet thru their place (instead of having a "fee" which might cause trouble with AVA side) me myself would love to adopt one but i don't think my place is suitable |

3 noticeable things will alert you if they are ready to lay or not. One is a dramatic decrease in appetite, they will totally stop eating even though they were eating like a pig the day before. Two will be the female will get restless and will keep swimming around the tank to search for a place to lay eggs. If they do have a place to lay eggs then they will naturally lay them out by themselves without any help from us. And the 3rd point to note will be this behaviour:
It is obvious from the movement that she wants to lay the eggs so it is the most visible sign you will get. |
