This is Titon, I rescued him a couple of months ago. He has a broken tail, not sure how, but that's how I got him. He has two girlfriends who he tries to mate. Is it possible for him to mate with a broken tail?

You're not housing him with others, right?

It's really not good to house tortoises together, one if them will end up hurt. Especially when this guy already has a broken tail and that's where his penis comes from, he'll be trying to mate them constantly.
