What in the world. It’s 64degrees cloudy and after not wanting to leave her house for weeks this is what she is doing. Seeing as how she is a single lady I wasn’t expecting this. What do I do? Health wise do I need to let her keep this up? Or can I put her back in her warm house. Aye yi yi!


Idk how to post a video so I recorded on TikTok to show you all.

I would let this play out but keep an eye on her. If she does lay eggs gather them up but put her in her house first. I'm not expert hopefully some others will chime in.

I have an old wire outdoor chair that I position over the nesting tortoise and I set up.a CHE that shines down on thetortoise to keep her warm.

Well I spoke to Tom and headed out to buy what I needed to provide heat and by the time I got home she’d abandoned the digging and was eating. After eating and taking an extra long drink of water she headed back to the hole. But only to look at it. She went back inside her house.
