Hallo All i need some advice please
I have a male for about six years now, about three years ago i got a female and they started breeding.
When i got the male somewhere on google it was said that they will only breed if the do hibernate but have a small chance of surviving hibernation so i make sure there is enough food for them during winter time
as these animals are very special to me. The male was found while there was a veld fire close to us i saw it walking across the road so i had to take it.
The female was with my aunt and was living indoors, i pursuaded her to give it to me as it is not good for them to live indoors because of the damage it can cause to there shell, hers were already like "cork".( is fine now )
Now last week we found a hatchling in the yard and TODAY she laid eggs again about ten of them.
It is normal soil with grass that was covering it. I do not want to remove the eggs from where she has laid it but want to know what i can do from my side to keep the area safe so that they can hatch. The hatchling i have currently is proof that the temperatures is fine.
Any advice and help will be much appreciated.
P.S ( i do not intent to sell any of these but would like to get some direction on where to go with them after they have hatched so that they can be safe )
