My female box turtle kimchi, laid only one egg. I took the egg out of the terrarium and put it in a plastic container with dirt and placed a damp paper towel, then placed the heat lamp over it. There was a small dent in the egg but whenKI I went back to check on it the dent was gone. I don't know if the egg is fertile or not but I'm doing the best I can to take care of it. There are no cracks of snatches the egg looks perfectly fine but this is the only egg she laid it's pretty small but I have nnothing to compare it to so I wouldn't know if that's a normal size.

dont let it get to hot with a heat lamp I keep mine around 80[/QUOTE

I removed the heat lamp and replaced it with a heating pad so I can control the temperature, it also seems more gentle than the lamp.
