j.c.
i'd seperate the males from the females for a while and see what happens. never personally done it with torts, but it's worked for me with lots of other herps.
my 2 cents,
steve

: Currently I house my 3.3 brygooi together. I do the same for my 2.3 planicauda. I have yet to see any mating. I understand now is not an ideal mating time. I have questions about mating of these torts.
: 1 Should I have my males together to stimulate their mating instincts? I do now, no results.
: 2 Should these males always be with the females? Presently are.
: 3 Should I separate the groups into pairs?
: 4 What is everyone else doing?
: 5 Am I being impatient with wc torts? I've had the brygooi in my possession for 6 months and the planicauda for 13 months.

: Thanks,
: J. C.
