Can I just ask about my Horsfield (15 years) who has just laid 3 eggs. She has not been with a male ( who was her sibling) for at least 4 years. They will be infertile? Surely?

Hello and welcome.🤗 This is such an interesting subject to me. Like Sarah2020 said. This question deserves it's own thread. I've read that box turtle eggs could be fertile even 2 or 3 years after being exposed to a male.
