My smallest ornate loves to make huge eggs. 2 Novembers ago, she laid large eggs, 2 infertile, 1 fertile but died in development. Last September 2010, she laid 1, I had to perform emergency cloacal aspiration on the 2nd, and a trip to the vets confirmed more huge eggs that were aspirated & passed with no issues. So, guess what time it is again? Egg time!
Trip to the vet today reveals 3 eggs, 2 normal-large size, but passable, and 1 that is iffy. Here are the rads for 2010 & i will post today's when I get them.
Has anyone had this issue, and/or have an explanation for the cause of huge internal egg development? All of my other box turtles lay normal eggs.
