If you look closely in the bottom photo, that is exactly what she is doing...laying an egg. She lay about 8 eggs and I kept trying to get a photo and finally got one. She the white egg coming out? Then she covered them up carefully, taking a very long time. Unfortunately, during the night, some predator dug them all up and ate them. It must be hard being a turtle!!
What a shame that the eggs were stolen. And so soon too! I remember one seeing baby turtles hatch - when we were on holiday in Brazil. Baby turtles are SO cute!
Suppose your not having turtle soup for dinner? (just kidding) It's a pretty turtle, wonder if it is trying to lay eggs.
