I think they are fertile as males for a looooooooong loooong time. I would love to see pics of the new babies, and I'm a sucker for a nice enclosure shot!

There have been a few studies on female tortoises and fertility. It has been discovered that females can lay viable eggs clear up until the day they die, even if they're 100 years old. I don't remember reading about male tortoises, but its probably the same with them as with the females.
