It depends...
if it is a female, when it is old enough it mostly will lay eggs without male present, just keep in mind these eggs are NOT fertile.
If you have a female 'egging' as i call it, then give her lots of calcium or else there is a chance she will get egg bound and lead her to her premutare death.
Hope this helps... This is also very true with most egg laying animals the female tends to lay eggs that have not been fertilised by a male that is the difference in hens egg that you can eat and the ones you dont that hatch.. Supplimenting the diet with extra calcium is a very good suggestion
Well, it has to mate with a female, and then the female lays eggs. Source: Has a russian tourtoise for now over 10 years.

I depends on what species but females usually cost more than males. An adult sulcata tortoise female will cost around $200. But the yonger the tortoise is the cheaper it will be. I recomened looking at the tortoise clasifieds at Kingsnake.com to see a wide range of prices and spiesies.
No, the vast majority of tortoise shell cats are genetically and phenotypically female, as they need to have one brown gene on one x chromosome, and one ginger gene on the other chromosome. On very rare occasions, a phenotypic male tortoise shell cat will be born, but he is almost always sterile due to his genotype (XXY).
I just discovered today after I thought the tortoise was male that it is female. The tortoise is about 8-9 years. I was just wondering if female tortoise's can lay eggs without a male and what age would it be? Thanks
You will need a female to lay the eggs and a male to (first) fertilize the eggs.
Let them bang !
No, a female Green Anole cannot produce fertilized eggs without the presence of a male. However, she may still produce infertile eggs even in the absence of a male. These eggs will not develop into hatchlings, but the female can lay them as part of her natural reproductive cycle.
