Things You'll Need
- 20 gallon tank
- Soil
- Vermiculite
Instructions
Keep the male and female separate. This is to give the female privacy during the gestation period. Even you shouldn't handle the female, unless it's absolutely necessary.
Keep the water clean by changing the filter. Do not completely change the water in the tank.
Prepare a 20 gallon tank with a four inch layer of soil and vermiculite mixture. This is where your female will nest and lay her eggs.
Place the female in the smaller nesting tank, when you notice that she is spending more time on land, or digging for a place to lay her eggs.
Replace the female in her regular tank. She can rejoin other turtles at this time.
Keep the eggs that were laid in the smaller tank until they hatch.
