I don't think he's old enough to start mating, but With tortoises, it's the size factor that counts. I don't know what females do, unfortunately, to show they are ready.

But it doesn't mean he's ready necessarily. Younger torts have done this too and clearly have not been ready.

Remind us of the size again?

Females will usually put on some perfume and a little red lipstick

Someone will correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe leopards have to be 9-10 + inches....?

Russians are different. They have to be 5-6+ (females)

Yes male Leopards are usually mature between 9 and 10 inches and females between 10 and 12 inches.
Have you ever posted a plastron picture of your female?

Well, if the "flashing" you saw was indeed the tortoises Willy, then I would say you have yourself a pair as the above looks female to me.

Yes, so that one is the male and the one pictured is a female.

Are leopard tortoises easy to come across in Scotland?
