I used two plastic gardening pots that plants came in from the store. I dug two holes in our garden, in our back yard. I placed the pots on their sides, allowing half of the pot to stay above ground, creating a cave. I filled them up half way with the dirt from the holes.
I let the male and female walk around the yard all day. The female found the cave and nested in it. I had to show the male the other one when he tried to go in hers.
Once inside, they both burrowed down to the bottoms and have yet to come out. It has been one week so I decided to pull them out to check on them. Both hissed at me, so I guess they liked the caves.
So curious, I dug down in her cave and I discovered one egg, soft shelled, approximately one to one 1/2 inches long, slightly curved, slightly dented, and has a small patch of bruising on the egg.
What do I do now??
