Sulcata ?? How hard is that sp ?

Now my 6 year old son is in-charge of his "sulcata big brother" (Male is 7+ yrs bought as hatchling) and his wife (bought as WC adult @15" June 2008 )
This pair lives at home !!
1st clutch somewhere December 2009 - 30/?? eggs (never found the nest only found 30 hatchlings when they hatch )
2nd clutch March 2010 - 18/21 eggs
3rd clutch September 2010 - ??/31 eggs

I believe the Female is from a huge Sulcata shipment sometime back in April or May 2008 Paid RM 5xxx for her to pair up with my lone Male sulcata

Noted! I stated hard because the one who has been trying stated as such (ie very hard). Personally I haven't tried breeding them myself. Don't intend too though due to their size (big) and status (CITES).

By the way, at what size you breed your cherries? I am not sure whether it's me or the tortoises but quite a number of mine are slowing down in their growth, eventhough they have been feeding like pigs.

a friend and I are planning for a photography trip to FRIM(Forest Research Institure of Malaysia) at Kepong... Has anyone been there and is there any list stating what animals do they have there? That can be legally photographed....

Thanks

anything in the wild can be legally photographed Ben.

just don't expect too much from FRIM, the area had been overexploited by 'budding herpetologist' (aka poser cum future smuggler) in recent years.

yea... jz dunno the "wild" area near my hse got animal anot... I dunno how to trek one ><

Cherries - mine the Males started humping when about 5 inches One of the Female started laying tiny eggs at about 7 inch and viable before she reaches 8 inch (I think not 100% sure )
Now at about 10.5 inches she(that paticular F laid first and my biggest ) average 3 clutch of 6-8 eggs each per season (at least from 2009 till now )
-------------------------------------------------------------
But my first batch of cherries bought as uneven carapace 3 inchers they could be older than their actual size !!

Why your friend say Sulcata is hard to breed ?? But our "Fatboy" is saying the same he got a pair larger than mine around end 2008 or early 2009 (you seen them ? these 2 free roaming in his yard ) Humping and eating every so often , just no eggs !!

i miss the nick Fatboy. Haha. Send my regards to him will ya? Brian.

This one the first clutch of tortoise eggs for 2010 (as written on the egg laid 05/01/2010)

Hatches out about 100 days later in mid-April

Enjoy

I see him always. He is still the same as before. Well maybe a little more hornier. Will try and drop by to his place again this November if I have the time.

P.s. Have you been to his new place where he keeps most of his animals? If not, then I think you should because it's freaking cool!

Sam: Exactly like ping pong balls. You weight the eggs?

Sure !! Will pass your regards .

Ya most of them unless its the X00-th eggs for that sp or lesser value sp like Elongata....etc !!

[attachmentid=1862582]

Above is a picture from inside one of my "incubator" - eggs from 4 sp (S,Y,Elo n unmark )

Yes, his orchards. Freaking cool place!

The eggs shown seem big. Are they Manourias'? But knowing you, they could be aldabras...LOL!

Which one you meant ? - the unmark one in a seperate container ?? Black elephant footed LOL

Aldabras I dont have any !! Shhhhhhhhh

Are those Stars, Ynis, Elong and Manourias? Which is which I don't know. They all look the same i.e. like pingpong balls LOL!

When you want to start producing morphs? Albino, hypos and axanthic cherries are already in the market leh. Don't forget the albino, hypos and ivory sulcatas. Go get them

S=Sulcata
Y=Yni
Elo=Elongata
unmark = Not Manouria !!

Cherries morph working on them - soon to arrive !!

Ivory and Albino Sulcata already part of the clan just not breedable yet but soon !!

Got a hypo of some sort of M.emys emys now working on it (almost adult M ) need proofing if non-visual produced at laid (will take bloody long time for that ) !!
