Hi everyone.
New to the forum although I did introduce myself last year and have just been observing so far. We removed our pair of mature Horsefield torts from fridge a week ago. They seem happy enough. We have bathed them every day and they have both eaten a little. We are keeping them in a greenhouse which has a separate outdoor pen, although there is a partition between them at the moment.
We were informed they had been a breeding pair when we got them. We intend to put them together shortly in the hope they will mate.
My question is how long after mating (if it happens) will she lay eggs ? Just want to be ahead of the game. We have had spur thighed torts for over 30 years but lost the last of them last year, so a new chapter begins.
Thanks
Martin
