Here's my situation. I have a female russian tortoise I am trying to get pregnant. I also have a male russian tortoise. I put them in an outdoor enclosure two weeks ago. Today I noticed the first signs of mating. The male was very agressive but I don't know if he was successful. The female kept running away, he would cut her off, bob his head like crazy, give her a couple bites on the leg, and go mount her again, and she would run off. I had to leave for work and left them to do their thing. How long should I leave the male in the enclosure with the female to get the highest chance of successful mating?
