Thank you very much for the reply, that helps a great deal. I do not have eggs, but they have been breeding the last couple weeks. How do you dig up the eggs after they are laid in the sand? I was thinking about using a plastic tub with sand in it as a nest box that I could just swap out with another one and put the whole thing in the incubator once eggs are laid, because I was wondering how you would dig up those little eggs without harming them. Also how many clutches do you get per year per female on average and how many eggs per clutch if you don't mind me asking so many questions. I have kept many different species of turtles, but these little guys are buy far one of my all time favorites so far, they have a ton of personality, I think they are very under-rated in the herp world.
Thanks for any additional info you can provide
Jeff
