redfoot mating

[smlboggess]

hi i just bought an adult female redfoot tortoise for my male to breed with lately i have seen him bobbing his head side to side is that part of their mating routine?

From what I have read that is part of it.

I hope you have quarantined the new addition...

I have heard it can be either mating, dominance, or just personality/behavior.

 

[Itort]

That's courtship.
