Hi!
I am wondering which of these factors are the key one to predict female readiness to lay eggs: age, weight, size. I've read some articles and opinions that plastron should be at least 15 cm long an weight >1000 g.
To be honest I can't relay on my experiences because my nesting females are much more 15 cm and weight is around 1000-1100 g. I remeber one female was around 950 g and she laid fertile eggs. Yesterday I adopted female with plastron around 14-15 cm long and weight about 850 g. I wonder if she is ready to lay eggs or not yet.
Please, share your experiencces in this topic.
Regards
