http://africantortoise.com/

I feed mine with hibiscus leaves-flower (2-3 times/week), opuntia cactus (once a week), weeds(main food) ( few types, depend on what i come across each day, but beware of poisonous plant).

Actually their main diet should be grass, but small tort seems show no interest in grass

With the new law in regard to exotic ..etc (Chelonian especially ) only the very common like RES get offered in shop !! But there are a few place who do display them in shops ( almost all major towns will have such shop ie KK , Twu , Sdk )

Guys.. if i rare my baby star tortoise in a syrofoam box okay arh?
or is it a bad idea??

When the tortise try to climb up or scracthing around, it will create debris which it can be accicentally swallowed with food? Syrofoam cannot be digested

Besides, it capture heat -- risk of overheating

ohh.. kay thanks dude

u guys know who is nonono (christopher) ?
Just met him yesterday, heard he is a radiata breeder o.O

up to you to decide whether he is or not.

King83

Just to let you know that in another forum (closed down already )
He claims a lot of things (having hundreds of Radiated is one of them )

But he cant even tell some of his own Tortoise sp apart !!

Some basic facts about Radiated he cant even get it right let alone trying to breed them !!! (luck or WC gravid Female bought)
- Dwarf race of Radiated that will stay small
- His Radiated can grow real quick to adults and start breeding a lot smaller ...etc

Like what Valjean say its up to you to decide !!

Ya and a nice price tag to match !! LOL

Too bad no budget to buy for now !!

haha...well...is more towards investment. hehe. hard to come by such tortoise ya.

Resell or keepers ?? This pair proven as in laid eggs before or ??

I agree on the "hard to come by " part !!

But we ( 2 Sam ) have secure quite a few among us to form a viable colony !!
