I have 2 RES and I have had them for about 8 months. They were tiny when I got them but I am not sure how old they were. They have grown huge in the months since I have had them. About a month ago I started to see them doing the flutter dance I have read about in the message board here on this site. But I don\'t think that they are mature enough to mate. Am I wrong? Will they go thru the mating ritual even if they are not mature enough for it? Their shells are about 4-5 inches long. Any advice and info would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks, Christina

just becauase they arent matured doesnt mean they wont try.they probably will kep doing this until they are matured.so wen they are matured exspect babies after a while.
