:As far as old turtles/tortoises becoming less viable with age...
:You've been hanging around in the wrong circles. Many people that have been working with tortoises over the years believe that it would be the 'middle aged/older' tortoises that were the most productive.

Hmmm...not sure if you read my post right or if I wrote the post badly/confusing.

I meant to say the same thing you just did:
Older chelonians seem to reproduce more successfully than the younger ones.


I've always found this to be absolutely fascinating. Is this the common consensus on the forum? I know some of you guys have been raising torts for a long time.
