When my female yellow footed tortoise started laying eggs I decided to purchase a young male for future breeding.Even though he was much smaller than her they got along fine. Not to long after getting the young male an old friend died and I adopted his tortoises. One was an adult male red foot that had been living with a larger sulcata (Sylvia), Anyway do to the time of year and lack of space for winter housing the male red foot went in with the yellow foots for the winter. Everything went fine, so I just kept them together. Last week when the temps started getting colder I moved them inside, but this winter I had set them up separated with the red foot alone and the pair of yellow foots together. The male yellow foot acted aggitaded and restless, The next day I soaked them and the male yellow foot passed a couple small rocks I didn't think they were a big deal, but planned to soak him again in a couple days, He still didn't seem comfortable, Then I caught him doing this I know you can't tell what "she" is doing in a still photo, but "she" is working her back feet to beat the band. No eggs yet, but this explains all the eggs I found in the outside pen after moving them back inside. I thought the older female was just laying a lot of eggs. It never entered my mind that he was a female, but I never turned him over to check as he matured either.
