: 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,

i have 1.1 brygooi in the same inclosure, no mating behavior ever noticed, they always stay hidden in there burrows and like you noticed they doing like to settle into the substrate a few inches. Anyways with no mating behavior we still received 2 eggs this past summer after they had been in captivity for over a year.
