Ken Sopher has said on this forum before "If you have small fingers, you can try to insert your pinkie into the area just anterior to her hind leg and tilt her to the side that you are palpating. In the latter stages of development, you may feel eggs.
Constant basking, restless behavior, and a very short period of coming off of feed is sometimes indicative of a gravid turtle."
And, yes, I definitely plan on making a land area in my spotted enclosure. ACTUALLY, you could visit captivebredpythons.com and click on Spotted Turtles, and there are a few pics of this breeder's spotted tank, and that's exactly how I want to do mine.
I'm thinking a section of sand and a section of soil/peat moss to give choices to future gravid turtles.
Hey, Dan. Have you found or taking any pics of those wild spotteds laying in your yard yet?
