WHEN THE HOLE IS ABOUT 6 INCHES DEEP AND FREE FROM STONES - THE EGG LAYING BEGINS. ABOUT HALF AN HOUR IS SPENT LAYING A CLUTCH OF BETWEEN 5 &10 EGGS. THEY ARE OF CHINA TEXTURE AND ARE DELICATELY MOVED INTO PLACE WITH HER HIND LEG. AFTER ANOTHER HALF AN HOUR THE CLUTCH OF BETWEEN 6 & 10 EGGS IS COVERED OVER AND ITS LEFT TO THE HEAT OF THE SUN FOR INCUBATION I HOPE THAT YOU ENJOY WATCHING THESE FACINATING CLIPS.
