Hi I came home today to find eggs in my tank which were already partially eaten. I only have one turtle about 3 yrs old and approx. size of a small plate. What do I do know? I read a few things about making a nest but would like more info please. Do I take her out of the tank? any help would be great

Just throw them away. Do you know how to feel for eggs? If the water is particularly foul, I would change it.

Yes acting very very odd. Kept clawing at her atba. We didn't know what was going on. I never dreamed it was eggs.

No. She ate last night and today. The only thing she hasn't done is bask.

I'd give her a couple more days. Has the water/filter been changed/cleaned?

No it has not been changed. It isn't yucky. Should I change it anyway?
