So my russian tortoises were courting in sttempt to mate from late March to early June, and the males haven't attempted breeding since because the females were not receptive. All of a sudden , they've started again and I noticed the females had scales missing from their feet when the male attempts to position the female. Today, they actually locked. When I throw in food or they see me, they come charging. One of my females discharged what I believe to be sperm after the male got off her back. Is it too late for eggs? Will she lay them or hold them till next season?
Too late for eggs

I don't think there is a time that is too late. My leopards anyway had eggs way into the fall.
Good to know. The ground has gotten kind of dry so I'll start misting the enclosure every morning.
