I was thinking that you might make something like an aluminum cake pan for the nesting site, that way if the turtle does lay eggs, you can remove the whole pan and put another one in its place while the eggs get incubated. Very Happy

Just a thought Very Happy

Well, from what I understand about turtles laying eggs, is that they don't stay around after laying the eggs, generally, they will lay the eggs and then go merrily on their way, Very Happy

, so after you see that she has laid her eggs, remove the pan or whatever you used, without moving the eggs, and set them in an encubator of some kind. Very Happy
