This is a picture of the inside of my leopard tortoise. I thought I'd share it with everybody because:
1. I find it very interesting
2. Maybe some of you have never seen the inside of a tortoise before
3. Anybody more experienced than me could maybe take a look and give me
their thoughts....
(All the yellow yolky round balls are her developing eggs and not a normal part of the anatomy)
So what I found is that the placement of the eggs are so far up in the early stages, that in order to "palpate" or "feel the eggs, the female must be not too far away from dropping them.
Again please give me any insight on what you think by looking at the pictures.
Thanks for looking and to those of you with a weak stomach, sorry if I grossed you out.
