: Again I draw on the experience I have with Leopards and Egyptians in addition to the litterature out there. It can be up to 3 more clutches judging from this last clutch and considering the season will probably end around sept or oct. That is not something you can bank on though. I have one leopard that produced 60 eggs last year and none this year. (go figure) About 7 clutches a year seems to be 'normal' for many tortoises of which I think the redfoots are one of them. Those are one of the tortoises that are farmed fairly regularly.

if you are right again, i could get to close o 30 eggs this year. how cool would that be!
i appreciate all the info, sounds like you know your s__t. thanks again.
