I have made the difficult decision to reduce the size of my pardalis colony.
My Hornbill collection is growing and I will need to expand my aviaries, which
will force me to reduce the size of my tortoise yard slightly.
I purchased this pair from Ian Tomich Spring of 2022 and they have been excellent producers for me here since.
CB 2004 Fife line Male 19.5" slc big bruiser heavy male which constantly breeds.
CB 2001 Fife line Female 19" slc with a big domed smooth shell. She is the heaviest pardalis in my collection and an excellent producer.
For the past two years this pair has produced 8 clutches per season with 12-20 eggs being the average. In 2023 this pair laid 122 eggs.
I get a mix of classic double dots and single dot/double and also got a few absolutely patternless ones which were really neat. The last photo is an example of the babies they produce.
Both Tortoises were produced by Fife and raised in Arizona, but have thrived in San Diego.
These are big healthy tortoises and you'll be getting them just in time for the 2024 laying season.
$8,500 pair + shipping. Although local pick up is strongly preferred. Can meet within a reasonable distance.
