Is this a nice radiated tortoise?
Hi All,
As you know I'm looking for a new variety of torts and am between Aldabs and Radiated (maybe even both one day). I like the look of this one but wanted to ask you guys if you think he/she is a good one as it's a forever addition to my family!!!! Shell looks smooth enough, nice shape and a nice colour to the legs and head, he is said to be very health although I will of course see this for myself before I buy. It is unsexed tho I'm having underneath pics sent tomorrow to have an early guess. He is cb04 and 15cm.    Thanks all!!!!

Thanks both, feel a little better now- they're just such an investment, I'm thinking of getting two- the one on the left aswell as the one above, he is cb06 and 10cms.

We can only dream of finding such animals in the states. A more perfect animal you will not find. At that size you should be able to get a guess on the sexes with a plastron photo.
Can I ask the cost? Quote:

Wow thanks Ed, I'm not sure of the cost yet as I'm trying to bargain for buying 2 of them, I will PM you once I know for sure. They're less than all the Aldabs I was looking at tho!!!

Hi Ed, I live near London and they are from a breeder I met in hamm so coming from Germany. I already bought 2 torts from him before.
I have posted the underneath pics in the sexing section, can you have a look and see if you can guess sex thanks.
