Ok, so friday i got home and my turtle (who is housed in a 100 gallon aquarium) had laid 2 eggs. 1 was sorta intact but broke in half and the other was crumbled into pieces.

i took her to a vet on saturday, she took x-rays and there are still more eggs in her. so on saturday and today(sunday) i am to give her shots: 2x a day-- .25 cc of calcium and .25cc of oxytocin. on monday i give her a break and i do the shots again on wednesday.

i got my waterland tub and filled the big part with water and the little part with 75% organic compost and 25% sand and a little bit of moss.

i also got her some fish to give her a treat and keep her occupied from the pain.

anyway, she hates the waterland tub and the vet told me that to keep her in the aquarium would be ok (eventhough all literature i've read has said the opposite).

so i put her in her tank last night and put her in the waterland tub this morning. and at around 4pm she was trying to jump out(which i know could be a sign of laying eggs...but she always acts like that)...so i put her in the tank...and she relaxed.

any advice?

Thanks
