Huge accomplishment

Tim/Robin · 03-04-2015, 07:29 PM

This has been many years in the making. We welcomed, quite possibly the first in the US, a 100% F2 Pyxis arachnoides oblonga in to our care. She is a tiny little gem.

This is the first year we have hatched all three of the Pyxis arachnoides group, arachnoides, brygooi, and oblonga.

So tiny and what an amazing shell pattern. Huge congratulations!

I admit to not knowing anything about these tortoises but they are stunning and it sounds like a huge achievement for you.
