She does have calcium and live outside at the backyard were she have the sun light available all the time.I have never seen this. Is she getting enough calcium in her diet? Does she have a cuttlebone in her enclosure. Does she have enough UV?
Hello Yvonne, yes she does. She is very active, eating and drinking well, pooping normal, walking all around the patio, very active with the boy. I have her since last year and the previous owner didnt saw her laying. She layed 3 times last year and all were not fertile. First clutch 6-7eggs, second time she layed does 2 eggs on the 1st pic and the 3rd time she layed 3 and i found it too late burried. This year so far one clutch, 2 looks good, one over calcified and 3 boiled/cooked bad eggs = 6 eggs.Sorry. . . I have never seen this before. Does the tortoise seem to be acting normal?
Yes, just like you wrote, I was wondering if the lack of nesting area make her hold eggs too much time and know she needs time to get in good period to lay properly again. The male is often on top of her, that can be another type of stress factor to end eggs like this? She is not afraid or seem hiding of him tho.
Really?? Humping her all the time is just as harmful to her as biting her. She can get away from a male in the wild. She can't get away from him in a small enclosure.Enclosure is about 20x30 feet. The male had 3 females but i removed 2 cuz he was trying to bite them often. Now its 1:1 has the begining. He doesnt bite that female.
I know, im taking the male apart too. Working on it...Really?? Humping her all the time is just as harmful to her as biting her. She can get away from a male in the wild. She can't get away from him in a small enclosure.
