I just recently got a pair of russians( I've had them for 2 days).The male 5 1/4is in and the female is 6 1/2in. I was told by the previous owner that they had been mating for the past month but had recently stopped. That's the reason why they were selling them because they didn't want eggs.
These are my first torts, so I just want to make sure I'm doing everything right for them. So my questions are:
Should I be feeding them( or just the female) anything special in case she's gravid?
I know I'm supposed to watch for her digging with her back legs, is there anything else to give warning that she's going to lay?
I have a hovabator incubator (no egg turner), if I do get eggs what temp should I keep them at?
And of course any advice is great, so please tell all!
