I live in South Carolina in a neighborhood that has ditches. 3 days ago I found a yellow bellied slider turtle in my back yard in my mulch it has backed itself into a hole so I thought it might be laying eggs but it is still there and has not moved there is no water close to it it had to go a pretty good distance from the ditch to get where it is if that is even where it came from. But I was just woundering if anyone might know what it is doing and how long can it go without going back to the water. it stays burried all day with the exception of sticking its neck out in the sun. The vet office I called said to take it out of the hole and look at it I did and it did not look hurt its shell looked great. They said they did not know what it was doing. Everything I read off the internet says they need water so I am just trying to figure out what this turtle might be doing. Thank you for your time
