My female slider (has a male with her) is laying eggs in the water. Her setup doesn't allow for digging and being kept outdoors isn't possible. What do you guys do? Pic's would be helpfull, but arn't necessary.

I got this idea from a post from iturnrocks a while back. I have never nested turtles, but I imagine it would work. Pretty much make a canopy hood with an extension that contains a nesting area. Just make sure the nesting area isnt too heavy that it lifts the other side of the hood off the tank. Perhaps add some weight to the other side to balance.

Here is the post about building canopy hoods

And here is my idea for the nest box extension.
