Yesterday I was at the vet's for various reasons & was looking at the DBT that is hers.. then found out something I'd missed before.
The ornate wood turtles did not belong to the vet, they were there temporarily because a group of children had been in for a tour.
I said to her "you know the ornate wood..." before I finished my sentence she said "you are so getting one!!"
Then she explained that they had not actually laid any eggs while at her hospital, they'd already laid some eggs before they got there for the children to see & those eggs are being incubated right now by their owner.
Chances for these eggs to hatch are much higher than I originally thought.

My mistaken thoughts were that the vet had just gotten them in to be her own pets & then they began to lay eggs. My thoughts were with all the stress of a new home they likely wouldn't hatch but no they had laid eggs in the comfort of their home before visiting the vet.
Oh my, this really may happen.
Good thing I saved the large Sterilite plastic box that the painted moved out of because I may need it! LOL
