Re: Conservation Success Story
This brings up a question that I haven’t seen addressed in this group – so for you that have observed them in the wild, in captivity, and you arm-chair super researchers…. Q: What is a female dbt, that wants to lay her eggs, looking for? (sand? soil? dry? moist? vegetation? sun/shade?) My one good observation is a 5 inch female that crawled out of my pond while I was just standing there, walked up to between my feet, dug a hole (“No, you couldn’t be doing what I think you’re doing.”), and laid 5 eggs. Either she thought I was the biggest bush in just the right spot, or she had a fondness for me and was entrusting her offspring to me. I’m sure the possibilities are mind-boggling. -Rick Chun-Ming Chew wrote:
