Terrapins gettin their groove on

I have a two terrapins, male and female. The sparks have start to fly between them, I think they wanna get jiggy with it.
Anybody got any advice on what I should be doing in case they make babies?
Thanks

Re: Terrapins gettin their groove on

what breed are they if there a common breed you shoudn't breed them as there are enough of them in shelters already, but if you do get a incubator and you would need to put them in there straight away if you haven't got a sand/soil basking area where she can bury them then she will just lay in water and theres a risk of it getting damaged.

If I couldn't find people who wanted the young ones then I would just keep them myself. Couldn't give them to a shelter or anything. Would happily keep them.
Thanks for your reply

Re: Terrapins gettin their groove on

ok fair enough what type are they? cause if there a big breed like a cooter or slider they would need a indoor pond each or pair if there not aggresive, and if she has 12 eggs have you got enough room for 6/12 ponds?

How are they she might not be sexally mature yet?
