So it's a she? And it laid an egg.


(I still don't know a name now, and we didn't know we had to take the egg out so she doesn't crush it, she crushed it.) ;0;

This happened with my female bearded dragon. Over time, reptiles become juvenile, (adults) females, are able to lay eggs without a male. These eggs have no yolk and are called "unfertilized" because there was no male to do the job. It is completely normal and safe if they lay unfertilized eggs. The only thing to worry about is to make sure they do not eat the eggs as it is extremely unhealthy.

Cute turtle though

And the funny coincidence is, the lady at PetSmart who sold me the Bearded dragon, told me it was a male. She clearly got it mistaken as it is hard to specify the gender at such a young stage where everything isn't fully developed. Also, bearded dragons are the only reptiles able to change gender. Not as adults though, it can only happen in the egg. How does it work? Most of the time with reptile eggs, you can control the gender. For bearded dragons, if my girl laid fertilized eggs and I wanted them to be all boys, (waiting for something to happen between my 2 :3 xD) I would put the incubator temperature to something higher around roughly 87 - 90. If I wanted all females it would be 80 - 84. But, if you wanted a fair amount of boys and girls, the perfect temperature of 85 is best suitable. Good thing I studied alot about this so you didn't have to :]

You have no idea how long I've been wanting to tell someone all this so thanks xd

Did no one read what I said? Its impossible for a baby tortoise to hatch without a male. Even if the egg was crushed, it still would've never hatched because it wasn't fertile. That means there was no baby turtle in the egg in the first place

It's A Turtle
Tortoises are obviously in the turtle family. But it sounds like what you're saying is that if you saw a boy that you thought was cute, you would say "damn, that human being much like myself, is very attractive."
