One male Elongated tortoise that was captive hatched in 2010. Almost 9" SCL and HEAVY. This guy thinks he is ready for the ladies, I personally think he would need another year.
Enclosure: Outdoor housing whenever possible is the best way to go. This species prefers well planted enclosures where they will have ample opportunity to escape the heat. They tolerate cooler temperatures but not cold temps.
Diet: Feeding on home grown weeds, flowers, cactus pads, some fruit and Mazuri.
Who am I? My name is Michael. I am a software engineer by profession and conservationist by passion. I have been keeping and caring for turtles and tortoises since 2001. I breed a few species of turtles and tortoises with a focus on Asian species. I offer captive bred hatchlings to others with the hope of getting them started with healthy well started animals so they will have a good experience and will enjoy the hobby and hopefully down the road will help with chelonian conservation.
What to expect: I am happy to answer any questions you have, before and after the transaction is over. The most important thing for me is that my hatchlings get a good home so if you are new to the hobby then I am happy to help you with every aspect of their care. E-mail is the best way to stay in touch with me but as time permits I will be happy to answer your questions via a call. My support does not stop once the hatchling reaches you and you are welcome to call me or e-mail me whenever you have any questions. I do not have a web site, yet, but please note that I am NOT in the business of selling animals. I am a hobbyist who breeds many species with the goal of making available healthy hatchlings for others to have a successful and enjoyable experience.
