I have a female box turtle someone gave me a while back. She is missing a back leg, but has no problems getting around. However, I recently discovered she is gravid. She's in a nesting box that other turtles have successfully laid in, but there's been no digging or other nesting behaviors. Could her missing leg be interfering with her egg-laying?
