Egg laying
So I have my first female and am trying to learn more about the egg stuff, so here goes.
Do they all lay eggs even if they haven't been with a male? If yes when does this start? She is 5"at the moment. She was in with 3 males at the store should I keep an eye on her incase she is pregnant? Or do I not need to worry about anything until she is 6"+? |

You don't have to worry about anything until she is at least 6 inches SCL. Very few tortoises lay eggs without being with a male (or some other stimulus like an aggressive female in with her).
So you've got a male and a bit of time to go before you have to worry about getting eggs. Danny
