Ok so can you breed two boy Russian tortoise's with one girl Russian? Like will I get two different clutches of eggs?

Jacqui said:Do your friend's two males live in one enclosure and get along well? By allowing one to be with a female, once the other male goes back, he may not be so willing to put up with another male as a roommate. Also remember if he brings his male over (or you take your female to him) you are opening all three tortoises up to sharing any health issues with each other. Make sure at the very least all three are totally healthy.
Eweezyfosheezy said:I dont know the exact science of it but a friend of mine has been breeding sulcatas for well over 10 years with just 1 male and 1 female. He never got 1 albino during that time but 5 or so years ago he put a male he had hatched from his pair with his female and got albinos in his very next clutch. The new male had been with the female for only a couple weeks so I dont think he could just override what the previous male did and be the only sire of the clutch.
I would just put one russian in with her at a time. For how long you keep them together depends on how big their enclosure is.
