The egg count here is 20.
With 4 more females yet to lay their first clutches, and second clutches to come, I may need to order another hovabator.
Yikes!

It sounds like, from your posts, that you have experience with egg-laying turtles. What behaviors do you notice when your females are gravid and/or ready to lay eggs?? I have 1 female and 2 males...1 of my males has mated with my female and I'm not sure what to look for to see if she'll lay eggs. I also do not know if she is gravid or not. Any suggestions or advice?
Thank you!

"What behaviors do you notice when your females are gravid and/or ready to lay eggs?"
I notice the typical 'textbook' behaviors that females exhibit in the day or two (or more) prior to nesting: drinking more than usual, general restlessness, more active in the late afternoon/evening than usual, etc., etc..

Hey good luck.. maybe you'll get lucky and they'll space it out for you so that you don't need to buy anything else.
