This being my third year of experience with box turtles, this will be my first year of having babies. My three toed has laid two nest for me, one with 2, possibly three eggs, and exactly three weeks later, another 2 eggs. I was just wondering how dry I should let the ground above the nests get before thinking about watering during dry spells. So far I haven't let it get too dry, and I've watered over the nests a couple of times, but not too much water. Can anybody help me out? Thanks a bucnh.
