Nice looking tortoises. I look forward to when my group is grown and reproducing. How many eggs does she normally lay?

Well the first clutch 4 years ago she laid 13. Unfortunately the male died and I just recently found this LTC male back in November. Imports were hard to deal with coming from bad importers. I'm very glad I found a nice healthy male and to keep the brown legacy going. I'm hoping she will lay a big clutch, she's a little over 16" and 32 pounds.

Wow, these are great pictures. Thanks for sharing. :) Would be interested in the nesting pictures also. What smooth shells they have. Very impressive, especially when you are dealing with the Texas heat...
