Default Mating

Hi there, I've just found two of my iberas mating.
He's about 13cm and she's 11cm , this is measuring the underneath of the shell..
I presume she will be too small to produce eggs?
I'll have to separate them as he's relentless...
Cheers
Maddy

Yes, she's to small to be laying eggs. She'll need to be about 16cm carapace (top shell) length to be able to lay eggs. It is best to separate them.
