do male softshells lay eggs?

[mercury904]

I have made this thread http://www.monsterfishkeepers.com/forums/showthread.php?t=172445

but nobody was able to help me

I scoured the net and as i can observed they are both male basing on its tail (maybe im wrong) and so decided not to put sand



now ive seen crushed eggd shells
so possibly I have a couple???

could this be an empty shell?

i know with some turtles the males have a concave area on the bottom of their shell to help when mounting a female...but im not sure with these

im no expert but if it is an egg then i think its safe to assume you have a female. looks like egg shell to me. as far as i know the only event of a male having eggs/babies was merely a film. the closest a male gets to having eggs/babies is when the female passes eggs to him like seahorses and aros (i think).

well this is monsterFISHkeepers.com so i think most of the turtle experts would be on a turtle/reptile site...but who knows, you might get lucky and we have a few turtle experts here...
but im 99.999999999% sure that if you have eggs in there:
A) you have at least 1 female turtle or
B) Your male turtles somehow made omelets and were very messy about it

Although the idea of turtles making omelets makes me wanna see it happen. I'd say you have a female turtle in there. Males don't have the anatomy to even make eggs let alone lay them.
