My female box turtle has been restless for a week and half now. I know she is pregnant because I feel the eggs in her. However, the last two days she has yet to lay the eggs, but I don't feel the eggs in her anymore. Before I could feel them up by the crease in between her back leg and shell. Do they move back towards the tail right before she is about to lay? She has laid eggs before and her behavior is normal, I just don't remember her being quite this restless or picky about her nesting spot. Also have any of you ever witnessed a box laying her eggs any time besides the evening? I never have, either in captivity or the wild. Thanks
