I don't know what to do! My spiny soft shell (about 9 yrs old) has been going crazy swimming in her 70 gal aquarium for the past couple of days and lo and behold today I looked in the tank and there are at least 4 eggs! They are in the water under her rock formation. one looks broken or misformed....she has no mate, therefore they will not hatch...right? so what do I do with the eggs? she stays in the aquarium full time, but sometimes tries to climb out, but lately was really trying to get out....was it because she wanted to go lay the eggs on "dry land". PLEASE HELP!!! I haven't been able to find any info on unfertilized eggs....all this time I thought "she" was a "he", because she never laid eggs before.......any info is more than helpful! thanks!
