Kichi & Fuku's owner who told us about her ideas for egg laying of
her two turtle, Kichi & Fuku in "Ideas for egg laying 1" of this website several years ago proposed another good idea. It is about noise prevention measures at the time of egg laying. We are anxious that noise made by turtles at their egg laying time may annoy neighbors for example the people who live in downstairs at the condominium. This idea may be useful at such time.
The owner was satisfied by quietness. On the other hand she was worrying
about if it gave
turtles a stress.Observing well, she realized that they didn't mind about it especially fortunately. The idea of softening noise and shock at the time of touching turtle shell with floor, wall and so on by using an item to soften noise and shock at the time of shutting doors. We can understand the reason easily. But we cannot hint it easily. I think that It is a very good idea. It has not only the merit for the owner also that for turtles. Using this tape can ease also the shock that turtles feel at the same time. It is turtle friendly measures. It may be used when we leave turtles loose in the rooms also except egg laying time. This tape relatively resists water. But turtles are likely to eat them at the time of peeling off them in the water. Actually there is little chance like that because they have no appetite at the time of egg laying.. But the possibility is not zero. Take care of such a case when you try, please. The owner of Kichi & Fuku said that there are no experience like that for Kichi & Fuku. The owner of Kichi & Fuku said that she is mindful of Frequent change of tape not to peel the tape in the water. She said that she often change it every 1-2 days though it manages to bear water for 3-4 days. She said that she peels old tape, dries shell well and, puts new one there. There are a lot of owners with troubles of egg laying time of turtles. And some of them surely come to think about leaving their turtles as members of their family after much agonizing. Trying to reduce such troubles may be useful to prevent them from leaving turtles and also reduce turtles abandoned by their owners and seen as bad animal of world
