Tammi>> not yet...and it's been 11days since she showed the sign :'(

The artbook>> Outside is simply not the answer...as I already said...the soil is too hard to dig. and she is so Goddamn stubborn,..she won't dig in the place I pointed at her.

I'd attack it with a shovel, but that's just me.

Here's my suggestion. The arrea she dug outside before, dig it up yourself and make it easier fort her to dig in.
Then try it again.

Okay...I'll try it once I get home.

Ow I almost forgot....there's a kid next to my house who always wanted to touch her while she is digging outside....will that influenced her mood??

I can't get ride of that kids

PS: I can't feel her eggs, I searched it with my finger the same way as the video I saw in youtube....can turtle fake her nesting period?? I mean she is not actually having eggs but somehow acts like she has eggs?

Tell the kid that if you dont stop bothering her, she will not be able to lay the eggs, and that she will die. (She will be fine, dont worry novros! Just say that to the kids so they will go away) Be really dramatic about it.

Since I can't get Kame out of my head...I decided to turn down a job interview and start digging on my front yard.

How deep is the ideal depth?? I've reached about 4inches.

She is digging now....I hope today she'll do it. I cover her with a box with lots of holes so that she fells save

Caphit>> maybe I should give her my evil eyes to scare her (the kid is a girl)....but she is such a brat

Good luck! Every time I take my two out to play in the yard the kids flock. I get so tired of keeping them away I take them in long before they are ready.

No luck today

I almost lost her, I left her for a while and when I got back, I checked under the box...Whoa she's gone....PANIC ATTACK, fortunately she hasn't gone far yet.

OMG you hit the nail on the head right there.

Well, I hope everything works out, good luck Kame!

Good news or bad news??

Kame has acted normal again, She isn't restless anymore....she hasn't laid her eggs yet.

If it is a badnews, she might retained her eggs

which mean I'm going to lose her soon :'(

If it is a good news, since I can't feel her eggs maybe she is just faking it, Someone in youtube said he met this kinda case once.

And I everyday I pray to God it is the good news instead of bad news.

Thanks guys for helping me this far.

Please, if you can, take Kame to a vet. I really don't want you to lose her, she's way to awesome.

But Indonesian vets don't know much about turtle

they don't even know Kame is having mild pyramiding when I took her there.

I still try keeping her inside her box for as long as I could and I will start searching another vet that really understand turtle

Maybe you could just put her in her box for an hour or so each day even if she tries to get out. Kinda make a routine of it. Maybe she will get used to the box and settle in more. So when she really does need to lay eggs
She wil already be more comfortable.

How did the backyard work out?

Tammy>> yup that's my plan!!

The artbook>> I'm doing that too...but I guess it won't work now since she's already acting normal again, but I'm still going to give it a try once in a while (between box time).

PS. Kame is sitting calmly on my thigh. She hasn't been this calm since the gravid period begin.
