Female Sulcata keeps mated by the male...

[robintam]

Hi everyone! Good morning! I need help.

I can see now my male sulcata tortoise keeps on mating with the female..... every day and numbersss of times a day...
Do i need to remove the male from the female or just keep them both together until the female lays eggs?

I read on Google, that female sulcata can lay eggs many batches of eggs from Sept to Feb... if the female just needs one time mating she continues laying the eggs until Feb? Or every time after the female lays her eggs we let the male mates her again to produce another batch of eggs? After laying eggs.., how long do we need to keep the female alone before bringing the male into to the female place again?

All over this forum are tons of threads about never keeping tortoises in pairs.
Seperate ASAP before she ends up dead.
Must house them separately.

Second this! Please get them separated

You can bring them together once or twice in the Spring, but make sure you have an outlet for lots of sulcata babies. Sometimes it's hard to sell them.

Keep them separated until you want the babies and can re-home them.
