they be making some babies
Do those ladies ever quite? Your going to need another house, just for the eggs. Then the hatchlings, omg, so many hatchlings. Lucky for you they don't all pop at once
Hahaha, I'm trying to imagine a house filled with baby tortoises... TOO MUCH CUTENESS. 
What is the biggest number of babies you've had at once? (if you count them, I think it'd be hard?)

the most RF's ......prob right around 45 babies at one time ......The species itself are small egg layers with average clutch of 2-4 eggs each lay..... although some of the larger females can and will produce 6-10 egg clutches.Hahaha, I'm trying to imagine a house filled with baby tortoises...

it all sounds fun and games........but it truly is a lot of work . I think some of the other members who are breeders and or own large collections can contest to that .
The success on breeding is a reflection of the keeper and how one maintains his/her herds ....and keeps everyone " One Big Tort Happy Family"
YT' There are about 30 permanent residence at the Cove'......the babies come and go all year long .....another difficult aspect of breeding ......you want to keep them all!
