Urgent Care :: Is Marge gravid?

[HomerJTurtle]

I think Marge might be gravid. She hasnt been showing a lot of the signs I have read about here but, I can see and feel lumps about the size of lima beans between her tail and hind legs. That is why I think she might be gravid. She is about 6 inches or so from head to butt. I havent seen her digging with her hind legs or displaying any other signs. She is pretty shy and every time I pick her up or get too close to the pond she does freak out a bit and scoots right off the dock with a big splash. I took her outside in the sun the other day and put her in the grass to see if she would do anything and she just hid in her shell almost the whole time and only peeked out a couple of times. So, is she gravid?

isnt the eggs found in front of her hind legs, not at the tail?

Yes, you need to feel in front of the hind legs (not between the tail)

She shows none of the signs of being gravid.

How are you measuring her size? Don't count the head, only the length of the shell from the back of the neck down the spine to above the tail and don't include the curve of the shell.
