I've had one Russian Tortoise for several years now and recently got 3 more. I have built a big 20 feet X 6 feet enclosure for all 4 (1 male, 3 female). I live in the Phoenix Arizona area. I was wondering if there are any other Russian Tortoise owners in Arizona who have bred them who could offer some advice. I think my male is too small to mate, but would like to be prepared if and when it happens, so had a few questions.
Would it be okay to leave the eggs in the ground until they hatch in Arizona, or do I need to incubate them? When do Russians typically lay eggs so I know when to watch for it? Any other advice for breeding Russian tortoises in Arizona? Thank you in advance!
