Hello,
I have a 5 year old female Pardalis Pardalis that won't lay her eggs. She's never been introduced to a male but she has a 14 eggs according to the xrays. She's been digging but has not deposited her clutch yet. My concern is that we have pretty rocky soil so she can't get a nest dug deep enough.
How deep of a nest would a 13" tortoise need to dig to successfully lay her clutch of eggs?
My plan is to confine her to a smaller area and bring in some top soil so that she can finally dig her nest. Anyone else have any ideas to help this along?
Thanks!
