Boy, if you could get all those babes to dig at once, you could have a built in pool dug for free
How many clutches does each one usually have a year?

 

[N2TORTS]

Barb ..... no doubt on the swimming hole'
The average for most of the gals is between 6-10 a year (variance depending on maturity/age/size of female). Because of location I really don't have "off seasons' and they breed and produce year around.

 

[wellington]

Holy cow, I wasn't thinking that many. You really are quite busy over there

 

[Maggie Cummings]

They lay 6 to 10 clutches??? How many eggs in a clutch?

 

[N2TORTS]

typical is 2-4 , but the largest 6-8....per clutch .

 

[Yellow Turtle01]

That's a lot of eggs! No wonder someone is always hatching

 

[N2TORTS]

Well to finish the story .......this female lays the weirdest eggs. Much more oblong as compared to her female companions.

and the cover up .......
