My female is maybe 5 inches at the most. The males do seem more interested in her than normal and she isn’t receptive to them at all. Is five inches large enough for her to have eggs already? I haven’t hibernated any of my turtles so I wasn’t expecting any eggs, but my red ear slider started laying last month. How can I tell if the eggs are good or not? She laided four eggs 32 days ago, and ? in the water today. Does that mean that they are not fertile eggs? Will she lay again or is that it for this season? Thanks for your help. Cara gang;
