Hello, my res is gravid, up till a week ago I thought she was a he but not so.
I checked her out at the vet and the x-ray indicates she has 8 unfertilized eggs in her.
She lives with a snake neck turt who is male, I think, but Im sure that any attempt at babies with these two would fail.
However i was hoping for some kind of hybrid beast.
So Ive got her walking round the house alot because the weather outside is a bit iffy.
But Ive let her have ago not long ago at making a nest In my garden for lack of a better place (im thinking of getting some silt from the river nearby).
But it took her about 2 hrs to dig a small hole about 1.5'' deep despite me digging the dirt up for her 1st.
So my questions are; on average how long does the whole process take?
And how deep do they like their holes to be?
Cheers,
Richard
