My turtle has laid an egg... just one egg...is that weird to lay only one egg???or its normal??

Question

i have 2 turtles and has laid only 1 egg...is that weird or normal?

Answer 1

It's normal, I've seen it before. Though, do A TON of research. Hatching a turtle from an egg, in captivity, is probably one of the toughest tasks there is. I myself have tried twice, when I had turtles (with no luck), and I know of a public library that even had professional help, and failed at least 3 times. At the moment though, go and get a light to put right over the egg to keep it warm, until you can figure out a more permanent and better fixture.

And remember, do a lot of research! I would also get a hold of a turtle breeder, perhaps someone at your local zoo.

Oh and, I'm completely assuming in this answer that your intent is to hatch it. So yeah. Keep in mind that females carry eggs for years, and they may not even be fertilized.

Anyway, with whatever the circumstances, good luck!

Answer 2

You probably have a chinese turtle.

Answer 3

It's perfectly normal.

Sometimes turtles lay more than one egg, but usually not more than 3 at a time.

Answer 4
