So my adult redfoot is, at this moment, trying to mate with his log I think. He's making these low pitched almost quacking noises and lifts his leg to hump the log about every 30 seconds. Should I stop this? Should I let him continue??? Thanks in advance!
(Also he's on two legs, his front ones on top of the log and his neck stretched out.)

Let him do the things he wants to do.:)
If you try to stop him he will search another thing to mate with.

Haha, so sorry! He just finished, I guess two and a half hours was enough xD (I'm not the only one who thinks that's a REALLY long time, right??)
My RF tortoise pen is right outside of my hallway batthroom.
When I had males outside, you could hear them "clucking" all throughout the rainy season through the window.
Sometimes it was all day long.

Don't worry the log won't lay any deformed tortoise eggs lol

Do you blame him for feeling frisky with that intimate lighting on? :)
