I'd like to hear from some of the experienced BT keepers.



Last evening I went out to check on my turtle pen and noticed my old female backed into a hole under a small log,....nesting. Today I find the hole covered up and suspect that she may have layed a clutch of eggs. I moved the log to make is a less desireable place to burrow but I feel like it might be best to dig them up and incubate them myself. I've also thought about putting another log or rock there in a position that would discourage the other turtles from burrowing there. I do have alot of experience incubating lizard and snake eggs. I've never done turtles eggs.



What would you do? I'm open to any and all suggestions.



She layed the eggs in the hole under this log.....







Here she is again. She was backed into the log where the smaller turtles is in this pic.
