My 24 year old plus 3 toed box turtle Clyde has been restless lately and I have found her numerous times digging on the floor of her enclosure with her back legs. Each time I would take her out and put her in an aquarium with warm soil in hopes she would dig her nest and lay eggs. But nothing!
So tonight I dug a hole for her and stuck her butt in it. That did the trick! She dug her nest and laid 3 eggs pictured below. They should hatch in a few months in the incubator.
