eggs

our star turtle laid 3 eggs yesterday at the backyard. we had this pair of star turtle for many years already and it was 'passed down' by my auntie who used to keep them but when she had to move to stay in the concrete jungle, she passed it to us to keep. we never did take extra care of it and just let them run around in the garden, occasionally feeding them with lettuce.


recently suparni's been seeing the small turtle climbing on top of the bigger one and didnt know why... now we know *wink* we actually had a pair - 1 male, 1 female :D suparni's luck- she saw the eggs, but by the time i got home, the turtle had covered it up with soil. cant wait to see the mini turtles.. i hope they come out soon and that my doggies do not terrorise them.

I used to have a star turtle too. We released it into the river when we moved house many years ago.
