Hi
I have a question and i'm probably going to get laughed at but here goes.
Do mature adult female torts lay eggs on a routine level regardless to whether there's a male about or not.
I know they can hold sperm n eggs for a while. But if a female has never been in touch with a male does it still lay infertile eggs(like chickens do). I only ask because someone I know has had 2 female yellowfoots now since 2007.
They have never in her time had them near any other torts what so ever. They are 20yrs old ish. and they lay eggs regular. She just bins the eggs because not interested in incubating.
