This is a tricky question and I'm grappling with it myself.
I started with a couple of tiny hermanni hermanni tortoises about a decade ago and I always hoped that there might be breeding eventually. In the past six months we've had two eggs hatch successfully and it's been an amazing experience. Of course I'm going to keep them.
But what am I going to do next year? At least two females are highly likely to produce viable eggs. Am I going to throw them out?
