Nice torts + great camera & voila! U got great imaging result!

How much u got them cuties for?

Nice , 3-4" ? Or bit larger ?

Cheers

2.5" only

Mind to share how the whole enclosure looks like?

may i know what you feed them??

i feed them with radiccio, frenchbeans, romaine, sawi leaves, watercrest, and some broad leaf green veg..
i always try to give the watercrest because it contains high fibre...
sometimes, i would sprinkle finely chopped hay to their diet..

Added on December 24, 2012, 10:44 pmjust changed the substrate.. also, i took out the hiding box coz they never once hide inside..

i use artificial plants (boston fern) because i like them and also for them to hide underneath it if they feel like it...
theres a water bowl on the right but im not sure they drink from it.. but they do soak themselves in it if i did not soak them for 2 days..
i normally soak them so that they will poo and pee thus making the enclosure cleaner..

Gigantic! How big is he? And how old?

That's huge.. I assume it's a female?

About 24" Male and about 8 yrs with me - got him as an ex-pet at maybe 2 yrs old !!
Weight over 30kg

SO maybe he is about 10 plus minus .

Sire-d at least 300 hatchlings this few years and still going strong !!

Thanks for the lesson..

Bolded part. Thats part of the story. I know such a great monster must have stories to tell. And special characteristics as well. I was hoping u could tell more about him

Beside living with his 3 wives nothing special to tell actually !!
Beside maybe his previous owner sold him over to me and a few other tortoise ( other species ) , when he went oversea to further his studies !!

Cheers

Hello,

I am currently own Egyptian Tortoise (Kleinmann's tortoise). May I know if its okay if I put my beloved little Egyptian together in the same box with my new sulcata?

Depending on many factors ?
- health of new box-mate
- size differences
- size of box

Cheers

That's a rare Tortoise you have there. would love to see how he looks like.

Hello sifu,

-New box-mate is newly born and healty (eating like a baby, all the time)
-My little Egyptian is about 8-9 centimeter from tail to head approximately.
-Box is around 85x50 centimeter. But my current tortoise don't like being in the box, he will be scraping the sand to ask people to put him in the living room. Quite friendly, know to approach my mom foot if he is feeling hungry
