Hi,
I have had my female res for just over 2 years now, She is between possibly 7-10 years old. The last two summers She has laid eggs fine and showed major signs that she was gravid (I think this is the right term). Is there anything I could do to help promote egg laying such as diet or something else?
She's currently on a diet of green leaf or Boston lettuce( depends what the store has), turtle pellets, meal worms, goldfish or sunfish ( live, gives her a chance to work for her food ), stawberrys and other berrys ( rarely, it's a treat), I also give calcium not with every meal though as she will refuse to eat if she notices it or cuddle bones not whole one I break it into pieces ( don't want to over do it)
Any other advice too would help, my state has some strict pet laws and restrictions on almost everything, that I didn't know about so I'm trying make sure I have everything as perfect as I possibly can, I have seen many things about how they take away people's reptiles being taken away or "destroyed".
