Some might remember my poll where I got four tiny eggs from a small female Sulcata. Well, about a month later she laid a clutch of 16 tiny eggs.
So, what does everyone think of this? There are others on this forum that have issues with their turtle or tortoise laying large eggs. Some say not to let your small females produce because the eggs will get stuck inside or the opening for the egg is too small.
If this is true, then why is my small female laying small eggs?
Is it that not all tortoises are created equal? Some through small eggs while others throw big eggs?
My older female I have had since she was a hatchling and her eggs have always been the same size (this is her fourth season). Is there a chance that this small female will lay small eggs her entire life?
