California income tax deductions are above-the-line expenses that can be deducted from your gross income before you calculate your taxable income. By carefully choosing your deductions in order to minimize your taxable income, you can ensure that you get the largest possible refund when you file your California and Federal income taxes. 1  California supports many of the same deductions as the IRS does for your federal income tax return.
Russian tortoise hatchlings measure about 1 inch in carapace length. As they mature, they reach a maximum length of 8 to 10 inches. Females are normally a little larger than males at full size. When females are about 6 inches long, they are large enough to begin producing eggs.
Sexual maturity has more to do with size than age. In the wild, a female tortoise will not lay eggs until around 15 years of age. However, in captivity, tortoises tend to grow faster and mature earlier.Females can lay eggs at around 14cm straight carapace length (SCL); however, breeding very young or very small tortoises is not to be encouraged as the female may experience difficulty in laying the eggs.owever, in captivity, tortoises tend to grow faster and mature earlier.
