Is there any other unusual activity/symptoms? ----She hasnt been eating lately, and awhile ago i posted that she was inside her shell alot. We saw one of our turtles vibrating its arms infront of her today, and we got a little shocked. We researched about turtle pregnancy, and we're afraid that LittleBeckham (name of my turtle) might have a broken egg. She stays near the bottom of the tank and shes not really active.
Today we were afraid she was constipated and let her stay in a tub of warm water, while letting her stay in there, we found a little gooey liquid come out of her tail. We're not sure if thats an egg-yolk thing from the egg. We're trying to contact a vet now, but so far we need to wait till tomorrow. We havent booked an appointment yet.
Was she pregnant? I didnt realize her trying to get out of the tank a few weeks ago, or constantly trying to dig with her hind legs.
Do you think she was pregnant and broke her eggs, or something else?
Please help, im very worried.
