I'm considering buying a 15 year old red foot female. She has lived alone and never laid eggs. I was wondering if it is okay to pair her up with a male. Will she start laying eggs once she has some male companionship?
How big is she and is her anal scute gap large enough to pass eggs?
I've asked for pictures, I'll put them up when I get them. ThanksThey lay eggs anyway when mature. Or at least I know of one case that has. Are you sure she is a she. Can you get photos.
@Redstrike did yours lay eggs without a mature male about?
It's female.Here's the pic of her tail. I'd really like her but I want a female that'll lay eggs. I have 2 Hermann's tortoises and the female laid her first eggs 3 weeks ago. I was so excited my husband thought I won the lottery. Now I'm hooked. What do you think? 15 years old and never laid an egg. If I get an adult male will she start laying?
