Hi
Interesting site. I'm a keeper of tortoises 15 years. Spurthighed (9), Leopards(4) (8 hatchlings 2011, 2012) Radiated (3) The Radiated are now at breeding age, hoping for results this year. Interested in acquiring further Radiated. I have travelled the world with interest in Tortoises. Madagascar(fantastic) Indonesia, Seychelles(Great Aldabrans) Mauritius (The reptile farm is amazing - saw 1500 plus young Radated ready to release in the wilds). Have loads of good pictures if anybody is interested. Regards John |

Hi there, I was also in the Mauritius reserve 'les vanillles'. Amazing place, did you ever make it to Rodriguez island where they are releasing the radiated juveniles? I never made it there but one day I will

No yet visited Rodriguez. Hope to one day. See you also have a pair of Radiated. WHat age are they. Interested in seeing photos. I have a pair, 17 years old (1996 German bred) Also a Male 13 years (2000 French). The older male has the year been making advances on the female but seems not with any result. Have to spray them both with water mist to get the female to raise herself, then the male looses interest. Difficult. Hope that in not to long, we shall see eggs. The incubator is ready. Got 8 Spurthigh eggs in there at present, first time lay. Regards John |
