Hi guys,
My female res, approx 9 inches are both showing signs of egg laying behavior. I have a sandbox approx 2.5 x 2 feet and 3 feet deep, with a strong mvb bulb shining on this area. I have a ramp connected to this sandpit which makes easy for turtles to access. However, in the past 48 hours, these 2 ladies have been pacing up the sandpit and back into the water for at least 20 times a day, and at times even seen trying to eacape from the enclosure.
Is this behavior normal for pregnant females? Anything i can do better to help them lay?
