Russian Eggs
tortoise eggs? without a mate?
can my russian tortoise lay eggs without a mate? if she does will they produce baby torts?
I have had her for several years & she is the only one I have.
If you've had her for several years then it's very unlikely they'll be fertile, sorry, BUT the other answer is correct where they say that torts can retain the eggs inside them for a long time, until laying conditions are ideal, so it wouldn't do any harm to incubate them.
You could be in for a surprise, but I wouldn't expect them to hatch.
They can be retained for years, but then, generally, the egg shells would be so thickened and over-calcified that they'd not hatch anyway.
A year or so is not unusual, though.

Russian Eggs
Why don't drinks with milk spoil when you put alcohol in them?
Like egg-nog and white russians. I always thought that milk and alcohol don't mix. Like shouldn't it curdle.
Acids (like lemon juice and vinegar) and some enzymes (like rennet) cause curdling in milk. But not alcohol. And curdling by acid or enzyme method is not 'spoiling' the milk - that is the way cheese is created. Ever eat cottage cheese? Cottage cheese is milk that has been curdled with chemicals, you can see the curds clearly.
But curdling from spoiled milk is very different. The milk has spoiled to the point where it turns acidic and that in turn curdles the milk. Then it is bad for you and will make you ill.
But in either type of curdling, you need an acid or enzyme - not alcohol.
