What is the size of a tortoise?
I've heard Russian tortoises stay pretty small, but I don't think they are the smallest. It really depends on the genes. Leopard tortoises are the 5th largest tortoises in the world but one of mine is still baby sized after a few years. We think that's because she was bred more for show than for being large and healthy.

How long does the desert tortoise's mother stay with it?
A desert tortoise mother leaves her young as soon as they are laid She leaves them in a hole to keep them warm so it is best if you take the eggs out and keep them in a warm glass container( often used by scientists). If you can't find one then I suggest having her lay her eggs in a area inside your home like a room where you can control the temp and have the eggs in a box filled with dirt. Keep the eggs in a line never on top of each other. Make sure also that you do a lot of research if you ever want your tortoise to have young. A mother never stays with her young, so you must know that you shouldn't try to introduce the young to her because it might end badly. I hope I helped you a bit.
