Hello Kim,
Welcome to the forum. Chacos are excellent tortoises. I've had a pair for 9 years now. The female has laid several times but it's been a challenge to hatch any eggs. My male is around 20 years old as well as my female. I would suggest waiting to get your tortoise set up and make sure she doesn't have MBD and in in very good health before doing a breeding venture on her. If you would like to get her checked out I would intertain breeding my male withher. But just so you know that hatching the eggs has been a huge challenge. Get her thoroughly checked out from a good reptile vet first.
Send me some photos of her cloacal area and plastron. Males and females look very similar. My male is 6 inches and female it 7.5 that's pretty much how you tell them apart. Many people think my male is a female until you catch him breeding.
