Redfoot breeding

[turtlelady80]

I have a cherryhead female that is about 7 1/2in. and was mounted several times during summer. And I have a huge redfoot female that was mounted during summer also but no eggs. I dont understand. Does anyone know whats going on? Ive had them for almost a year. They both have a proper nesting sight just in case.

How old are the males? What size are they?

How long have you had them? It takes a while sometimes. Torts do things at their own pace,which is somewhat slower than ours. I have Northerns,not Brazilians. The smaller one may not be old enough to lay,or be fertile when she does. The smallest Northern I've personally had lay was about 9".

Oh Ok. 9 in. Yeah maybe shes not big enough. She has been with a 13-14 in male and a 9-10in male. OH and a smaller male like 8 in.
