Posted: Tue Jul 07, 2015 9:28 pm Female RES keeps laying (then eats) unfertilized eggs!!
Hey everyone!! OK, I have had Money for about 10 and a half years. Since the beginning of this year, she has laid 2 large "batches" of eggs. (8 eggs the first time and 6 eggs the second time.) Then she ate them and it was not fun cleaning the tank afterwards! Any who, a couple months go by and nothing so I figured it was done with. Nope! Middle of June she laid maybe 3-4 eggs (it was a mess in her tank!) and then this past Saturday she laid another one!! What gives?? She has never mated, doesn't even have another turtle companion (she dominated over her tankmate 9 years ago which resulted in his death), and eats the eggs!! Not the whole egg, maybe bout half of it. Any ideas as to what's going on??
