The living rain forest
This is worth a visit i went on a trip hear with my daughters school this week and they had a few hingebacks that had bred naturally sorry the pics arnt that good the keeper told me that they had laid in their inclosure without then knowing and have done this a few times now which really amazed me as it is so wet in there but seems to work

They have bred these at the living rainforest several times and eggs have hatched after a "semi natural" incubation within the enclosure.
The group thrives and show some great behaviour to the visitors. These forest tortoises are in a very attractive, naturalistic setting and perhaps provide guidance on how to keep them? |
