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

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

oh, so if they did not hibernate, no breeding season?

No, they may breed any time then.

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.

Interesting, thanks. I will be watching.
