When will my budgie/parakeet lay an egg?

Why does my red earred slider only lay one egg?

• I have to red earred sliders. One is a male and one is a female. When I saw the egg I went to go grab a box full of soil to put the egg in. When I came back my boy turtle was eating the egg. Is this unhealthy for the boy turtle? In the past my girl turtle has only layed one egg. Every time an egg is layed it is eaten by my boy turtle..... why is this? When will my turtle lay another egg? (By the way the single egg was fertile.)

• Answer:

  You should seperate the turtles wen the female is about to lay a egg. Chances are that the eggs will survive with its mother. Wait until the egg hatches and that the turtle is more "turtle-formish " before you bring it back with its parent or else the Male daddy will be aqqressive and mite even eat the little turtle!
