I was surprised to find my female pancake restless and not eating today so I put her in some moist soil. No long after she laid and egg for me.

I saw her lay it but was surprised to find it shaped like a box turtle egg. Is this normal? I thought it would be more round, like a ping pong ball?

See my picture of it below.

sounds like you need to provide her with moist siol all the time to avoid her binding...
