A few shots of one of my larger, which is not actually large (yet), hypo CH/RF animals.
Raised in/with the same environmental and dietary parameters as (all of) the others. Mind you, some animals come to me with pre-existing cosmetic defects, but I do what I can to make the most of what I have. This female will be a key breeder in the future. |

The hybrid had woken up and was going to start her day this morning. The giant Sudanese female, however, was still groggy.
The Doopy-Doo. The hybrid nestling in some leaves. The giant Sudanese lounging about in what little afternoon sunlight she could get. For a female, she is massive. She could easily smash through ankles, so care must be taken not to spook her if standing very close. She is still shy. Big Whitey and a shot of one of his het ladies. My big yellow foot female. In another ten years, she will probably be a monster. A large redfoot male from Guyana. He has been posted for local sale. There are several local keepers who would probably love to have him as a keystone male. His forelimb scales are a pretty nice hue, I think. They should all enjoy the storms tomorrow. |

Spring is in the air.
My keystone male ivory tortoise (Big Whitey) has been mating several of his females since the weather has warmed up.
Ivory x 67% het (I have a small number of eggs from this female and male ready to hatch any day now.) Ivory x proven het Ivory x hybrid (pardalis het sunset hypo x sulcata het ivory) Some (five in total) bunnies I found on the side of my house. I had Poo (the corgi) look after them for a while and then we took them to a forest with a lot of undergrowth for release once they started eating more solid vegetable matter. Poo still looks for them. |
