Hi All
I’m after some advise.
I have seen my tortoise this morning pushing/ injection his tail into his substrate. Then I spotted his penis out and a lot of water/ pee around. I have never seen him do these movements or his penis before when doing pee. Is this the way they pee or is he getting sexually active? He is 18months old. At what age do Herman’s become sexually active?
I got him at 11months and he was 58g now after 6months he is 226g. He is quite active, food , hydration, humility, substrate and lights are all correct.
Could it maybe be that he was older then 11 months when I got him but undernourished and now he has caught up?
Sorry to ask all those questions.?
