Hi all!

I had a question...I have a female box turtle and 2 males. One of my males and my female have mated several times and today she is constantly visiting different areas in their pen. She has a favorite spot that she has been sitting in with her head out and alert. I have never had a gravid turtle, although I've been doing research and reading your posts. Is this a possible sign of her getting ready to make a nest?

Also, since we live in Sacramento and do not have predators in our yard that would visit and dig up her nest, should I leave the eggs there and let Mother Nature hatch them or bring them in and incubate them? Any thoughts?

Thank you!

Tina
