It varies according to the species. Some species only lay a single egg. Others lay up to 30. Even within some species there can be considerable variation - for example, Testudo hermanni boettgeri (the eastern or balkan Hermann's tortoise) usually lays between 6-10 eggs. By comparison, Testudo hermanni hermanni (the western Hermann's tortoise) typically only lays 3 eggs per clutch. On average, most Mediterranean tortoises lay 5 or 6 eggs per clutch, and many are capable of laying 2 or more clutches per season.
