Default Female Tunisian eggs????

I have caught her quite a few times over the last couple of months, butting and mounting the other female.
She is very heavy so i wonder if she has eggs??? only time will tell

Yes it would be brilliant. They are very delicate tortoises, they can get runny nose so easy. Not sure how much they fetch but even if i did come to sell them i would not ask much a good home is far more important to me

Sorry Linz thats why i did lots of ??????

It is probably her hormones playing up, but she has been with a male and been like this for quite some time now.

Lets hope she lays.

My female kept butting and turning my males over and over for a couple of weeks, kept sniffing and making large wholes, the bugger bag was playing me up, as the x-ray showed nothing before her going into hibernation, but Darren assured me its a women thing and testing her hormones
Goodluck.
