Hello,
Just a question about mating. How long after the mating ritual should I expect to see egg's? (Three Toeds) I have never had turtles that have done the deed but have now "caught" them several time's over the last couple of weeks!!

If the turtles are mature-fertilized ovum takes a few weeks to grow it's yolk and get its covering of eggshell. The eggs can also be retained for a number of weeks until the female finds the right conditions to lay eggs. Or the whole process can be arrested. It could happen anywhere from 3 weeks to several months, or happen the next year. There is no set time (9 months)like humans.
