Maybe a Bell's Hingeback? Oh Danny? Jacqui???

Think it's a bells to.

Hi Laura,
Thats a Bell's hingeback, Kinixys belliana. To tell the subspecies, you have to count front claws. K. b. nogueyi has 4 claws and K. b. belliana has 5 claws.
It looks more like a K. b. nogueyi to me.

Thats what I thought she was. But other pics didnt quite look right. She has 4 claws in front.
She is slowly waking up. I turned the 'heat on' about a week ago, soaked her and she was outside inthe sun today for about an hour. She is thinking about eating some earthwoms right now. :-)
Thanks for the ID!
And Anja,,,, The Mazuri is a hit! Sulcatas were chowing this morn!

That was my first thought - a hingeback when I saw the shape of the shell but I am no expert on these guys.

" I REMEMBER WHEN ".. how many times have we said that? A friend in FL that imported those 'big' tan ones with yellow marbling and almost solid yellow heads.. $15 in '98. I bought 3 out of 35-40 that he had. Wouldn't I like to turn back the clock for a couple of weeks back then. Of all the different species that he imported I do believe that I would have rather had those!

Good to hear

Hi Laura,
I'm not getting the "heat on" referance and the just waking up.
K. b. nogueyi need to be warm all the time and humid. Mid to high 80's during the day and mid to high 70's at night. Basicly they should be kept like a Redfoot, with just a bit more protein in the diet.

She puts herself to sleep every year. Burrows under leaves and doesnt wake. Heat or not. So I let her sleep thru most of the winter and wake her up about now. I guess I should look into her needs better. I was letting her do what she wanted. I took her in from a Vet client who's son didnt want it anymore. Learning a lot on this forum.
