Been dealing with back and sciatic issues, so I'm behind on eggs. Saw one of my female Philippine Cuora sp had dug up an egg. Pushed through the pain and dug up the entire land area, found a few good looking eggs and ... this little one!

Sorry for your back issues. I know those problems.
That sure was worth it though. Love the face and those yellow eyebrows.

Back was bad but is fine now.... But the steroid they gave me for my back, formed a knot on top of my sciatic nerve, 10000x worse than the back issue :( can't bend squat pickup sit up sit down lay down stand etc, pain all day.

I'm going to pay dearly for egg digging...


Will be nice white eye brows soon enough, one of the differences between the Philippine Cuora and others.

Yeah that sciatica doesn't freaking mess around. Have you tried a deep tissue massage with them pin pointing the area? It will hurt like HE🏒🏒 but should feel better afterwards.

Yes, those brows wow.

Thanks! At er now, looking like it's swelling from the injection that fixed my back pressing on my sciatic nerve.

"The Dr will probably tell you not to sit for 3 weeks" .... "We require you sit in this wheelchair due to fall risk"

Lol

That instruction reminds me the old cartoon of the man sitting on a chair in an otherwise vacant room with 2 doors, one labeled "Do Not Enter" and the other labeled "Do Not Exit".

As I said, good luck.
