Breeding Russian Tortoises

[Chase]

Hello all-

Well I've gotten into tortoises now, and have gotten my adult pair of Russians to breed. Funny little ritual they have, and thought these pictures were funny. We'll see in about a month if the breeding was successful

Nice torts! Good luck with the breeding.

Thanks Jann

Maybe I'll have little ones if we meet up to breed our turtles

Here is my smaller trio. The biggest female is 4.75" scl, still at least another 1.25" until she can breed. Might be able to breed late next year.

Same type, different tortoises, they're way smaller. Well the older male is about 5", so the others aren't too far behind, but the older ones are captive bred and the smaller are WC.
