General Care Discussion :: "That time of year again" after 10 years?!?!

[Linus]

I have a nesting area next to my pond, and every year the turts just pop em out in the water! The fish and the other turtle love me!

Eggs 4,5,6,7 and 8 are out! Trevor laid them in about 1.5 hours on Thursday while hubby and I were at dinner. There haven't been any more since Thursday, but we'll see- I think I can feel at least two more.

Yay Go Trevor Go!

Females want what they want. If she thinks that laying them underwater is fine, then, as long as the eggs come out, who cares?

I have an older female somewhere between 5 and 7 years old, (she was re-homed to us), and so far she has not laid eggs in our care. But I have three females, so, when my younger girls mature, I expect a lot of eggs.

Is there a correlation between having multiple females together & eggs? I can see why that would be for females with a male, but is it also true for more than one girl together?

I don't think so. Jen had her girls together, and I believe only one would keep laying eggs.
