I have four box turtles in an outdoor habitat. I had three, then, yesterday, I brought home a new one. I introduced him to the pond and offered him some food and decided to check him the next day.. this morning. I went out to check on him and he had mated with one of my females. And they say turtles aren't fast.
It is the end of September. I had assumed we'd be doing the hibernation thing soon... so, how long will this part of gestation take? Is my female going to be looking to lay eggs in the middle of winter or will her body slow down all processes until spring? I have been googling all morning but could not find this information.
thank you!
