Yes, all turtles must lay their eggs on dry land.

Ok thanks for the reply. Up until recently I have had a lot of fun collecting both exotic and indigenous reptiles. Now I am not interested in collecting anymore but with each day I am becoming more and more interested in the research and observation aspects of our native reptiles. Needless to say they don’t call me and tell me were to meet them LOLJ. How would I go about finding and observing turtles up close? I have only owned one turtle “A red ear slider” so I don’t know much about them although I do know he would jump in the water every time we would walk into the room. Thank you in advance for any help you can give.
