The report of 2005, 2006 ,2007 ,2008 ,2009 ,2010

The 1st time
June 5 (Sat.)	She began to make a noise in the morning at the first time in this year.
June 13(Sun.)	And laid 5 eggs.
	3 eggs in a planter in the balcony and 2 eggs in the water. She dug the soil of a planter that I plant geranum and laid eggs.(June 13)
The 2nd time
June 22(Tues.)	She began to make a noise after her meal at night sudenly
	She is in the middle of finding the spot to dig. She is about to tear the net for mosquitos of window. " Let me go out !" She entered between glass and net to go outside. so... "Oh, I can't move at all !" It looks like a shadow picture throught glass.
June 28(Mon.)	Laid 6 eggs in a planter.
	In the middle of digging now ! She dug deeply until half of soil from the planter was scraped out. while she clinged the brim of the planter by her hands and and breathed hard. Fortunaitly it's nothing to plant. She is laying now ! How serious face it is ! And she took a nap there after she covered eggs with soil. She always takes a rest like this at the next day of laying eggs. She lookes like only a figure. She doesn't move at all from morning to night. she takes a rest in the window today. Please relieve your fatigue well !

The 3rd time
July 7 (Wed.)	Only 9 days after last laying eggs. Our relief was passing soon
	She began to make a noise again. What is she all about this year ? She is going outside. "Don't be so nasty to me ! Open the window much more, please." To my nervousness, she bit the stem of lily of the valley which contains poison in the whole, after she went outside, to the balcony. Foutunately, She had nothing to damage. I was careless because she wasn't a desert turtle. She is coming in the Japanese room with straw mats. Here is her favorite place whenever her laying season has came. She forces the sliding door open to come in the room, if it is slightly open. We can see her from the side of Japanese room with straw mat. The reason why... It is good to dig for me because the straw mat is soft and easy to dig. She is crying. "I was upset because you weren't kind for me and didn't open the door widly. Come to help me soon, anyone !" Oh, Kememi ! I feel like helping you very very much.... But.... (Kumosuke) She always climes to my body. She climed to my shoulder. fell down to the floor from there and had the skin scraped from the top of her head by her own carapace.
July 10 (Sat.)	I let her go to balcony. Just then, she went to the planters
	straightly, and laid 8 eggs there. In fact, I thought these were only 6 at first. But I found more 2 dried eggs between planters nest day. At first... She has going away to a diffirent planter soon, after she made a mess of the planter like this. "I choose here today !" She began to lay eggs here without making a deep hole, in half an hour or an hour after I let her go to balcony. How skillful she is ! As she support her body by a leg of the pot for water lily beside her. Be careful not to slip down ! I took the photo of her seriose face secretly, while she laid eggs. She is stopping fill up the hole. She presses soil hardly As her legs are coverd with mud. Can you see the a broken egg beside her right leg ? Please take a rest ! "I choose here to have a rest today. It's my favorite the way of the bathroom. I always see the people who pass along the hall."

The 4th time
July 18(Sun.)	She began to make a noise busily in only 8 days after laying eggs
	of the last time. She climed the planter shaped flawer cart for thier play. "I'm very busy now. Don't disturb my works. She drops into the water with splashand makes a noise and comes out soon. "Anyway, I'm very busy." Look, Kamemi ! Do you know this is a cace for Kumosuke? She thrusts into soil of the planter... "How about here for digging" The temperature ? And the humidity ?" She is in the midst of searching for now. She likes the planters in the balcony. So I put a lot of planters with only soil there. But...she didin't them. I put also the planters with plants around them tobe able to dig without anxious for her. So she began to dig there soon. But she didn't lay eggs at all this day. This is special field made of a lot of planters in balcony for Kamemi. She is digging now. It often smells sweet from herbs she smashed with wind. Here is anothe her favorite place for digging. It's on my lap. "I like here,because it's warm" She climbs to my lap by force and digs also here using her nails at top of her force. It's very painful. And my skirts is almost torn by her. And....She ma after making a noise for about a week. Behavior of turtles have many riddles. And she enjoyed sunbathing in the window and eating much for about 2 weeke after then.
August 9(Mon.)	Suddenly she laid 2 eggs in the water without any sign.
	I found 2 eggs by her in the water, when I went to her to see her becase she called me " Come here! I want somting to eat much more." At the moment, She found one of them ( eggs) and ate it. They say that the turtles before spawning don't eat anything.. But the cace of her is an exception.
August 14(Sat.)	She laid 3 eggs in the water again.
	These are her new-laid eggs which is just after I picked up from water.
Ausust16(Mon.)	And She laid a egg in the water again and again.
	I could only an empty egg in her cage after she has already eaten.
August 21(Sat.)	She laid a egg again under the table in the living room where
	she sat to make herself at home. I found a egg there after she left to the bath room from living room.
August 25(Wed.)	3 eggs again !
	I found 2 broken empty eggs in the water when I changed her water after her meal.And she laid more a egg after then. Meal time is the most favorite time for her. She seems that she isn't serious for her egg laying any more. The eggs she laid this year are 29 at last.
