Dan she is 4 inches in length and around 4-5 yrs old is it possible for her to lay at this age , she never seemed stressed at the coupling so i gather she was willing.

Thanks Dan these are new to me and i was surprised at the coupling , the male is 16yrs and even though he shows interest but is never persistant and the females usually run away but this time even though there are plenty of areas to escape to she excepted his advances .

Pete well you never no .

Sandy these were coupled for 30 mins i was a bit concerned as she is so young but i rembered Dan saying females can be productive at 4 inches i would have died if they were land tortoises in this situation

Linz very randy he has an eye for young ladies i'll be watching him .
