on saturday i saw my 51/2 inch male turtle doing the mating dance to my 51/2 inch female. i had to leave so i didnt see how it turned out.but now (sunday) when i feel behind her legs i can feel bumps, as if there are eggs back there.is there any way of knowing if she was responsive?
she\'s been layzying out on the bottum of my tank most the day.
if she is pregnent, and i set up a spot out of the tank where she can lay her eggs (with moist durt/potting soil)
and put her out there about half an hour each day, would she lay them?

also, can someone please tel me what the scratch and dig thing is that means she is looking for a spot to lay her eggs looks like

thanks a million

ok the bumps behind her legs arent eggs. it is just part of her legs. the boy has them also.
