one of my female Russian Tortoises has been digging nests recently. i have been keeping an eye on her closely. she is about 6 inches SCL and weighed 750g. she looked still young to me and small. i tried to touch the inner hind legs to feel for eggs but I am not experienced so i did not find or feel any egg in her. however when i walk to the backyard to feed my tortoises, i was still very surprised to see eggs lying on the ground.
she did dig a nice hole and buried one egg nicely, another one half exposed and two on the surface. it was sad to find a large egg cracked open a hole. she seems to be an inexperienced mom.
