Is it worth a trip to the vets for some oxytocin or is that not done for ladies like Pru?

I'll give it a few more days Bindi. Then I'll take her to my chap, get an x-ray done, see if anything is preventing her laying. See is acting totally normally (for her) during the day, by night she goes a bit loopy. She's not distressed by it at all. She's spent a lot of time around the second nest site I set up today, maybe the change will do her some good.

Its only just been 6 weeks so I would give her quite a bit longer before a vet visit. Some of ours take weeks to lay!
To Bindi in box torts it is not always a good idea to use oxytocin it is very rare to get egg binding in a box tort. Quote:

Sitting up with her tonight. She's been straining away. I've just caught a glimpse of two eggs in the nest.

Brilliant I am pleased she has finally decided do lay possibly as it has got warmer ie low pressure.
We got the first proper eggs from one of our Reeves turtles yesterday late into the night. Looked this morning look as though they could be fertile YESSSSSSSSSSSSS!! This is a first for us normally she lays in the water.
