Hi Everyone,

My Sweet Blond Bombshell Blaze has been a little Testy lately. She and her boyfriend Flash have mated recently and now anytime he comes by her she bites him really hard, and sometimes she will bite the other Russian Tortoises. I put her in a time-out for a few hours and she seems better, but my question is why is she starting her biting? Does anyone know, or have they had the same problem with their Tortoises...Pls help me, I'm starting to worry.

eggs

She might have laid some eggs or is going to,and is feeling protective of her young, so you should make a cozy environment for her to lay or take care of her eggs, but leave her alone for awhile.(but still feed her!)

Time out
by: Shelly

The time out is a great idea. She needs time and space right now. Give it to her. She may need to lay eggs.

Keep it slow and steady.
