Egg laying question
« on: August 18, 2010, 06:25:52 PM »
My RT's were mating the other day and I was wondering if they would lay eggs this year before they start hibernating. If it takes a month to develop eggs, then i would guess they could lay them before they hibernate because we for sure have another month of hot weather here in So Cal.

What is the latest any of you have had RT's lay eggs?

I'm way north of you, but don't think mine will lay anymore this season. Unless they have developed eggs they want to get out of them before hibernating.
