Eggs laid
Hello folks,
Besides my tortoises I have 2 turtles, one common musk, one razor back, I've had them for approx 6 years, they've always been very happy together and today 3 eggs have appeared, quite large, so I imagine the razor back has laid them. I haven't seen any change in behaviour, the only thing I changed was an upgrade to a super duper external filter about 4 months ago. can anyone advise if they could be fertile or do they just lay out of instinct. And what I need to do now. Many thanks in anticipation Maddy |
I have no idea about turtles but you could try sending Kirkie a pm he would know.

Thank you Gordon

Hi Maddie,
They will produce eggs in the absence of a male, my mud turtles (which are similar) do. It's not the fertilisation by a male that prompts egg production, the production of eggs by a female prompts mating. |
