hi everyone,i have an adult pair of indian star tortoises.i have been keeping them together for 2 months indoor.suprisingly i saw them mate yesterday morning.since i have to go out and work at daytime,i dunno how many times they have mate.
how do i know the female is gravid or not?
when will the female start to lay eggs if she is gravid?
how many cluthes of eggs usually?
how many eggs in each clutch?
what should i do now?should i still keep them together and let them mate continuously?or separate them and set up a nesting site for the female?
i am living in an apartment and have no backyard,how can i set up a nesting site?
any advises will help.thanks for all replies.
