This afternoon one of my female Russian torts dug a nest, seemed to be laying eggs, and then she covered the nest up. I dug up the nest and to my surprise there was not even one egg. I dug up a large area as I thought I must of missed the eggs.
Many times my females will dig a partial nest and then abandon it, but do not cover it up. Has anybody else experienced their female dig a nest, seemed to be laying and then cover up the nest, but did not lay any eggs?
This particular female has laid two clutches this year; the last being 4-17-16.
