Now that is fascinating! I did not know that! Talk about a cool science lesson for your kids. I wonder how that works? Where is the -ahem- material stored? Or are the fertilized eggs stored? I really have to google this now. Thanks for the info!

Did you have a boy turtle too?
No...Turtles can lay eggs for 2 years on only 1 fertilization...if, I am remembering this correctly....she came to us this way. Layed her 1st eggs within a couple of weeks of getting her.
