Hi, Just reading the posts when this question popped up. I’ve read on other turtle boards that once a turtle has mated it can produce fertile eggs for several years after the mating. Does this mean that in a single ‘clutch’ (is that correct?) a turtle can lay eggs that have been fertilized by different fathers? I heard of this before but I don’t think it was in any reptile species. Thanks Eric
I would also like this question answered if it can be. So far all of my babies in their respective clutches look to be from the same father. Even the pink headed babies have gray clutchmates with a pink undertone. Vickie
