Horsfield tortoises share the nest
Horsfield tortoises share the nest
You wouldn't believe the space these tortoises have and they both decide to lay their eggs in the same nest. The one on the left is a first timer, so perhaps she is in learning mode. Excuse my thumb in the corner of the picture.

Re: Horsfield tortoises share the nest
Lovely capture
I think in the wild they would naturally do this as a preditor can only eat so many eggs. Then again it could just have been our mini heatwave.
Either way busy girls,

Re: Horsfield tortoises share the nest
That is an amazing photo! Did their back feet ever touch when they were digging the nest?
