On 6/1 one of my female Russian’s laid 2 eggs. All went well. I put her in her outside enclosure the next day and she starts digging again?

Ester was purchased in October of 2013 as a Hatchling, not by me but her previous owner. She is 6 3/4 inches long 4 1/2 inches wide. She weighs 812 grams. She is small for 4 1/2 years old.

I have been offered this female leopard Tortoise. Approximately 8-10 years old. She had what I consider severe pyramiding. The current owner bought her at a garage sale 8 years ago. Crazy right? I want to take her and will quarantine her for 6 months followed by a vet visit. Any other major...

This year my girls didn't start laying till June and...
I have 2 girls that have laid fertile eggs clutches for the last 3 years. Usually by this time of year I've had at least one clutch each. So far this year nothing. I haven't changed anything, everything is the same as far as their enclosures ( inside and out), their diet, their egg laying areas...
I've been looking online and can't find any information , maybe someone on here knows. I'd love a desert tortoise or 2 ? Can I have them in NY? I'd love to adopt them?
