female tortoise

If you have a female do they get egg bound? Or do they have to have a male to make eggs? Thanks peoples!

Females can still lay eggs without a male ever present. So yes I believe they could still get egg bound. I wouldnt put much thought into it because I doubt this has rarely ever happened.
