I recently adopted a 1.1 pair of Three Toed box turtles that were an owner surrender to an animal shelter, who passed them on to a dedicated turtle/tort rescue, who then adopted them to me, so I don't have much info on them.
I don't particularly have plans to breed them per se, but since they've been housed together for years, probably, and I've witnessed breeding activity, I want to be prepared. Plus, usually when I get a new animal, I like to know all aspects of their care, including reproduction but that seems to be an area not well covered for turtles. Can someone give me either a link to a comprehensive article dealing with it all the way from breeding, laying, incubation and hatching or write out an outline on all that here? I'd really appreciate it!
I've read a bit here and there but the info I'm looking for seems to be very scattered and sometimes missing. I apologize if what I'm asking for is already on here, I did search, I promise!
