Hi!! Im new to this forum, but I have a question. I have two herman tortoises who are about 4 years old. Recently the male tortoise has started mounting the female. Now my brother who is in to his reptiles and helps out in a reptile shop has said we must separate them immediately or she will become egg bound, and it could kill her.
Is this true? Neither are depressed or unhappy together, and the female is not traumatised or being hassled. Do they need to be separated until they are of proper sexual maturity or are they okay together? Thanks in advance.
