breeding season

When is breeding season for Russians? What should I be watching for? I have males and females together. All is good for now.

RE: breeding season

Usually breeding season starts right after they come out of hibernation,

RE: breeding season

Torts4me let me clarify. I have Greeks. I placed them outside in their pen over last summer. On Nov.3 I found a new hatchling in their pen. Both the adults had a bit of a RI so I did not hibernate them this winter. On Jan. 2, 2008 my female laid 3 fertile eggs. They have been "Practicing" making little ones every time I place them together. I figure this summer I will have more hatchlings. I understand it works the same for Russians.
