Hey guys, I've read that the fall is the best time of year for a red-foot to lay eggs. I've had success in the fall and winter, but never in the warmer months. It's been in the high 80s and low 90s for a while now. We're having tons of rain, and my red-foots are mating like crazy. I'm yet to see any nesting, or nesting behavior. I've noticed that some of you are getting eggs at this time of year. I wonder if they're nesting when I'm not home, or in the mornings? Those of you who have nesting red-foots this time of year, are they nesting in the morning, or at night? Their pen is located way in the back of my yard, so it's possible I'm missing them. My box turtles are nesting every other night or so, you'd think I could catch a big red-foot, . Anyone have any tips other than rain and warm temps to stimulate nesting? Here are some of my red-foots and pics of their enclosure.
