Bella is in with Edward, won't be going near elvis at least till after quarenteening. Padmae is the biggest he is with and she is 11cm I read that they can lay at that size but will obviously listen to experienced people on here.

I've never heard of a Horsfields laying at that size. Have though heard of a Western Hermanns laying at that size.

No i meant i wasnt sure about Bella with the digging as she may want to lay eggs lol. What i meant with Elvis is that you have him in with some young females so keep an eye on him as he is 12.1/2 cm i think you said and your females that are in with him are small at 10cm and below x

Oh right I see yes I do keep an eye on him, he seems to be pretty general around them at the moment but will make some changes if needed if he starts pestering and biting them.
