Rita, one of my young Redfoots finally laid the eggs she's been holding onto for a long time! She's incredibly picky about where her nest is and will dig 40 before she lays! I think it's part due to her young age. She's only 10 years and only laid once prior! She's got a 1/3 of an acre of 6 different kinds of soil mixes from dry dirt to moist organic soil to lay in. The rest of the females find a place after a few tries!

This is the first time I've had a quarter of an egg! I know it won't hatch but thought it was worth a picture!

One of my RES once laid an egg the size of a finger nail in her tank after laying a bunch in the yard, and the egg had no yolk inside. Just egg white.
