Well I witnessed my first locked up box turtle pair today. I saw the belly of one of my turtles, so I feared the worst since it has been in the 90s today, I was affraid that one had flipped over and wasn't able to right itself and cooked in the sun, so I thought I was going to find a dead turtle. Nope it was my male 3 toed on his back and in front of him partially hidden under grass was a female 3 toed. I should've taken a picture but was in a hurry and needed to be somewhere right away.
Anyway my question is how long after seeing breeding do you guys usually see them laying eggs?
Last year I found eggs in mid July, but I never witnessed breeding.
