This morning this turtle showed up in our mulch bed and started digging a hole...very slowly. It would reach its hind leg down into the hole, slowly scratch up some dirt, and then bring it up to discard the dirt. Then it would reach down with the other leg and do the same thing.
A little bit later, I went out to see if it was still there and this is what I saw!
And of course we had to take a video.
And when she was all done she covered her eggs with the dirt and completely filled in the hole. Then covered the dirt with the mulch that was around. You would not even be able to guess where the hole was because she did such a good job at returning it to how it looked before she started.
Does anyone know how long it takes for turtle eggs to hatch?
