Taking care of your turtle's overall health.

Well, technically you can abort them by cracking them. Unless she's given a good nesting area and she's old enough and fertilization actually occurred (a lot of "ifs"), they won't hatch anyhow. So it's probably best that when they are laid, you just crack them right away and discard them. It'll be best for everyone anyways.

On your female's potential eggs, here's a good link. Towards the bottom of the page, you'll find links to more pages with more good info on how to build a nest.

Great pictures God I love them when they are young. Did you buy the baby or was it from a egg? Don't worry you won't hear the don't let the eggs hatch speech from me all I care about is a good home.
