As usual, Brad is right on target. I think 900 gms. for females is the key to getting them to breed. Most tortoise imported are way too small, they are probably 3-5 years from breeding size. They used to import large ones, but these are rarely seen anymore. Mine start to breed when the females attain 900 gms , and they males may start much smaller. Vic
