i have my male with 3 females all the time, and he never really bothers them. the male is 4 5/8" and the females range in size from 4 1/2"-5 1/8" my guess is none of them are sexually mature. they are all wild caught, i have read that there are some ways to encourage matting behavior, like keeping them well fed for the first year them kinda tapering them off for a few months during the winter, also they have to be old enough, wich if your male is 10yrs old he probably is but the female may not be.

(just so everybody knows the torts are being kept in seperate enclosures)

I'm thinking the first one boy and second one I don't know.
