I really want an ivory sulcata
Was talking to a bloke from the states that breeds them was thinking of import but thought I would hold out see if any pop up in the uk but do not think anyone has bread them yet?

They are amazing beasts

Part of my Testudo gang. Getting back into these on a very small scale for a bit of an experiment.

An elongated rescue I am trying to save (could go either way right now, but is better than when I got "her" from the poor lady who bought her).

Leopard gang. South African giants het for Sunset Hypo. Lost another one, my largest, recently to a flip in the middle of the day while I was not home. Sad, and unexpected, but a confluence of both the flip, the timing, and the heat at that time of day made for an unfortunate result.

Sorry to hear about youR leopard.

Thanks for posting the picture of the gpp x sully I've only ever seen hatchling photos of them.

Thanks. It is a shame, but these things happen.

OMG, you really do have the most beautifull collection of Tortoises, I really love looking at your pics.

While not mine, below are some photos of a genuine giant yellow foot tortoise. It is sitting with some Aldabras, so that should give you some idea of its size. I tried to get a close-up of the tail, too.

----------------------------------------------------------

Now for some more of those which are actually mine.

Here are a couple shots of one of my hypo cherryheads.

Here are some shots of a former runt of an Aldabra being grown according to my keeping practices. "She" has grown significantly since these photos, so I will have to take some new ones later to post. A shy and gentle animal.

Tortoise Thanksgiving.

My little Burmese star enjoying a little Mazuri.

A 67% het for ivory female laid/expelled 12 eggs. Three were broken before I got to them, but that sometimes happens with new dams. So 9 intact. I took a photograph of seven. I am incubating for female in a single digitally controlled incubator, but am using two methods to test some ideas of mine. A photo of seven from the 9 incubating follows.

The sire is my large male ivory shown earlier in this thread. A photo of the dam follows.

I am incubating this clutch for females because it will cut down on the time it takes for me to know whether mom is actually 100% het or 0%.
