My new turtle just layed eggs

22 16:03:16

Question
My son got an ornate box turtle from Santa. She has now layed eggs. How do I know if the eggs are viable? How do I care for them? The habitat I have for my turtle is indoors and may not be large enough accommodate "Tina" and her eggs. Do you have any suggestions/recommendations?
Thanks!

Answer
Hello Miley, she may need to be checked by a vet to be sure all eggs have been laid and also that she was healthy enough for laying. What have you done since she laid them? Are you offering cuttle bone? This will increase her ability toget calcium. Please tell me about her set up and temps etc. I want to give you proper information
