We've had some these turtles for at least 9 years, and we have had no eggs or babies, so i would assume that they are mostly female, but if you could take a look at each picture and clarify. The picture labeled "tortoise" is one i got today

What are the sizes of your sulcatas? They look to be sub-adults/ young adults. You will see successful breeding with females around 16" SLC and larger. Males seem to mature at a little smaller size.
1. female
2. female
3. male
4. male
5. male
6. female
7. male

hard to tell how big they are, but if sulcatas, they look small for nine years old..
they are Tortoise, not turtles.. ;-)
pics of where you keep them and of them would be cool.

"long time, no mating" sounds like my love life.

They seem a little small to be mating.
