VID - My Pancake Laying an Egg!

[PATMAN]

Here's a short video I took last week of my female African Pancake Tortoise digging her nest and laying her first egg for me. I hope it's fertile!

I have never seen a tortoise lay an egg before. That was something. I liked it at the end when she used her foot to make it drop. Did she only lay one or was there more?

Congrats on your egg! Like Candy said, she kinda kicks it the rest of the way out, Lol. We'll keep our fingers crossed for ya!!

That is pretty cool. I never can catch them in the act of laying.

That was awesome...momma in a trance as she carries out that most basic,most primeval function of reproduction of her species...it's so moving.

Big egg, too!
