Turtle on "beach" digging spot for eggs!!
« on: July 06, 2011, 04:39:58 PM »
I didn't want to get much closer, but here she is the little legs digging away.
No I didnt see eggs, but time will tell.
I should have used a Flip Cam so one could see the digging.  Not sure I could post it here.

Cool, Jerry,

They can spend hours doing that.  I will observe mine starting to dig in the morning, and sometimes they are still laying come evening.

I am also convinced that sometimes they dig "dummy" nests in which they lay no eggs, to trick predators and keep them away from the real nests with eggs.  Also, sometimes they dig and decide they don't like the spot, and move to another location.
