This female felt gravid so will be taken out of the pond and x-rayed at Canyon Veterinary soon.
The female is happy to swim away from these strange predators!
Chris Hancock gently cradles the first eggs laid on 6 July 2007. Darrell Barnes will incubate these for the next 80 days.
One egg hatched, one trying and 4 more that may or may not hatch...
About the size of a quarter this turtle hatched 89 days after being laid.
