My new tortoises

tomds · 29-03-2009, 03:30 PM

Hello everyone,

After some further research and speaking to a few other members on here I decided to get two Ibera's. They are mid 08 hatch lings and about 5 cms long. They spend the majority of the time sleeping but occasionally bask and eat, I got them from one of the recommended breeders on the TPG breeders list. I have posted a few pics of them and my set up below. I also have a garden enclosure which is rather large for these little guys! Will post pics of that soon to.

They are called Rocket and Tank by the way!

thanks everyone. They seem to do nothing but sleep at the moment! Is this normal? I have a mercury vapour bulb at 30 degrees.

They are very cute!Nice enclosure too!

As you've just got them,they settling in and it may take a good few weeks so don't worry if they are not so active stright away.
