Calabrian Western Hermann's Tortoise Babies

I am offering the following 4 Studbook-registered specimens of Western Hermann's Tortoises from the CALABRIAN locale:

#2 (blue dot): SB# 2031 (hatched 1/23/16); incubated for MALE; 30g

#6: SB# 2035 (hatched 2/12/16); incubated for FEMALE; 40g

Other Two: SB #2041 (hatched 7/13/16) and SB #2042 (hatched 7/14/6); incubated for FEMALE; 20g adn 15g, respectively

Here is how I have been maintaining them:
Substrate: Coco fiber alone or mixed with sphagnum moss, topsoil and cypress mulch.

Depth of Substrate: At least 2 inches, up to 5 inches; babies will bury down into it; if too deep, it will be hard to find the babies.

Substrate Maintenance: Water is added daily to keep it moist; upon adding water, the substrate is turned over by hand; this softens up the substrate to allow easier digging.

Lighting: Fluorescent full spectrum and UVB bulbs are used for illumination; a small spot light is used to provide a warm spot; babies will move into and out of the warm spot as need be; lights are used from 5 AM until 7 PM.

Water: A water bowel is not used in the enclosure; Babies are soaked daily for 15 minutes to ensure proper hydration and to promote defecation; such soakings can be done more than once per day; typically soaking is done in the AM prior to offering food.

Food: A variety of store bought greens are used: romaine lettuce, chicory, escarole, Boston lettuce, spring mix, baby bok choy, mixed thawed vegetables, etc…; weeds can be used, if available; food offerings are chopped up and dusted with Repcal with D3 and with Herptivite multivitamins.

Cage Furniture: An artificial plant is used to provide some cover.

I am pricing them at $450 each; take all 4 for $1600. Prices include shipping. Please let me know if you have any questions at brugaugler@rcn.com.

Thanks. -Larry Gaugler, NYC
