Willing , cooperative female will lift hind shell up with her hind legs so copulation is easier and successful .

Whoo Hoo That is great. More babies is always good. With these guys it's even better.

Thank you so much for sharing these pictures. I don't think any of us would ever get to see this otherwise.

Amazing pics. Please keep them coming. I can't wait to see more!

You are the rock star for tortoise breeding. Nice touch that you wrote your avatar name on the egg, that eliminates the naysayers who might doubt these are your images. Your results are going to motivate many people to try and do better. I could be mistaken but you are one of the very few to have relatively solid documentation of captive breeding outside the range area. Maybe others have done this too, but your photographic record is pretty unique, at least for English readers. Great job.
