Is this a nice radiated tortoise? - Page 2

They are beautiful, lucky you!

Wonderful!!

Am I right in thinking that there probably aren't many of these beauties in the UK outside of zoos? They look stunning and no doubt will be quite an investment

But would be wonderful to see them regularly on this forum *hint hint*

They are stunning, get them!

Regarding radiated keepers in the UK, I only know of 1 and he has 5 males with no females

I'm 99% sure those pictured did not originate in the UK.

Hi Ed, No the ones I have posted were bred in Germany and the breeder grows them slowly to try to get them smooth.

I have only seen hatchlings for sale in the UK and they were no where near the same quality. They were also a whopping £2k each!!!!

Oh my, that is expensive, especially if they're not bred as well.

But the two pictured are gorgeous!! If only...

Hi All,

Happy to confirm I have now bought my new additions and am very very excited about finally being able to bring them home.

I'll let you know when I have them but it is likely to be May time before I can collect them. Lots of time to keep researching and preparing for the new arrivals.

Thanks all once again for your help!!!
