@Angell Harding granted this was the only turtle out of about 30 that I was able to get the digging animation for, the rest just swam around never finding their home beach. I just got lucky with this one being right next to her home beach

@GoldenHelmet there's a chance it could have been a random spawn but the baby turtle appeared from underneath of the mother, whom I had just fed sea grass and bred no more than 2 minutes before, after she swam over to a nearby beach and shook around on the sand for a few seconds. I am not the owner of the realm but I'm fairly certain we aren't running any behavior packs, I can double check on that later tonight though

Same issue on Xbox One X Bedrock Edition Realms survival mode........two months later and no fix........went around for 10+ in-game days today just breeding turtles (probably found 30+) by feeding them both sea grass only to watch the pregnant one aimlessly swim in circles and never lay eggs. Only on my last attempt of the night I was able to find a pair of turtles directly next to their home beach. Instead of laying eggs, the pregnant turtle swam over to the beach and just popped out a baby turtle like she gave birth. Also tried reloading the world multiple times throughout but I'm not sure that does anything for realms. Kinda butthurt Mojang hasn't fixed this yet, I really want to farm scutes for the helmets as well as turtle master potions.
