We came home tonight to find our red-eared slider turtle Midori had finally laid some eggs. She was nearly a month late from her usual schedule.
She laid 14 large ones and three or four small duds. She'd been in considerable discomfort for some time, so we were glad that she was producing.
She likely has more to go, as she usually lays around 40 each summer.
She ravenously gobbled down a good serving of pink salmon that we'd baked the other night, and then immediately fell asleep in a fresh change of nice, warm water.
