QuestionEven when they are not mating, do adult female red foot tortoises still lay eggs? And roughly, how "tall" do red foot tortoises get when fully grown?
AnswerFemale turtles and tortoises often lay infertile eggs as they age. it is thought to be a sign of stress, but may also be a way to get rid of hormones and other materials in the body after a while.
Tall- about 8" from what I can figure. Most reports do not list that. You can ask at http://www.tortoiseforum.org to see what people with big Red-foots say.
