Okay, so I've had this turtle that we have been calling "Mr. Turtle" in my fenced-in backyard for about 3 months now. I've been feeding him, I built him a little house out of rocks, I made him a little swimming area by burying a shallow aluminum pan in the ground next to his little rock house and i keep it filled with water, and I even brought him a friend home to keep him company about a month ago. Fast forward to last night(June 30, 2018)- My husband and I are in our backyard when we notice "Mr. Turtle" just chilling under our little tree. We go over to see what's up with him and see that he has dug a little hole and had his butt hanging over it. I lean over to get a better look at what he's doing and the damn thing lays an egg! So "Mr. Turtle" is actually a Miss Turtle and in a few months(hopefully) we're gonna have little baby Miss Turtles! I'm SO excited! They will be precious little babies❤ I have made sure her little nest is protected with a wire cage over it. Even though we don't have to worry about skunks, raccoons, etc. digging up the eggs since we have a vinyl fence around our backyard, we do have a Chihuahua and a Min Pin who are very curious and like to dig holes in our backyard. Hopefully everything will work out and I will be posting a video of little turtle babies coming out of the ground in a few months?❤? *Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I'm trusting mother nature will run it's course and things will happen the way they need to happen but still, if there is anything I can do to help make sure the babies and mother are healthy and happy, please let me know☺ Thank you! ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gGTsyVz_3B8
