The tortoise male does a sound with the nose and expels air, and slapping with his caparison in the caparison of the female. If the female wants, they do the act of reproduction. After the female search a place to put his eggs. The place need to have the perfect conditions. One place that the predators can't find, a place that have the adecuate temperature, aproximatly 25/30º and this place is under the ground. Normaly the female search a place that have water, and food for the littles tortoises.

The turtles have an a diferent form to apareate. The male search a female and make a dance to attract the female and this way to be able to fertilize her. After the turtle go out of water and in the beach put his eggs under the land. The conditions aren't important because the little turtles when they born, they go since water. But the turtles also have to vigilate and bury well the eggs, because there are a lot of predators.
