Urgent Care

I'm unable to view the link posted...

I am sorry I didn't realize that you could not see the link. I measured her today she is, 210 mm or 21 cm or 8.2 inches.

At that size, it's hard to be close with any guesses.

Sorry about the last links, they were linked to facebook, as well as my desktop. I did not put any thought into that you would not be able to view them. Here are 3 other links that I know this time works. All of the pictures are from the day we found her, so she has some dirt on her shell. I included 2 pictures so you can see the size of her, and 1 picture has the bottom of her shell so you can see the spots on her tummy.

She's similar to my girl, around 8 years old.

8 years wow I didn't think she was that old but thank you

Well everyone, I am back an need your help again!!! Seems that she has laid an egg!!! Which I didnt think was possible at all because I didn't feel anything when I checked. It looks like she drooped it from some height or something because it us cracked a little bit. So my question is, well I have quite a few at this point but.

1. How long do they hold their eggs inside for?
2. Is it already fertilized and there's a baby inside?
3. Does it still need to be fertilized?
4. Do I keep it in there?
5. Do I take it out an get rid of it?
6. Does she have more to lay?

I know you guys will help me out with this you have given me great advice before!

1. Don't know, but it seems about 1-2 months. Ones that are not laid could become calcified and rupture.
2. Only if a male was there to fertilize it before. The egg will still be the egg white and yolk.
3. Naturally the eggs are not fertilized after they are expelled. I think it's sometimes done medically in an attempt to help rare species of turtles.
4. If it was in the water for more than a few minutes, it will no longer be viable.
5. I think so.
6. Probably.
