My new rad....

[ILoveTorts&Gerbils]

Mind asking what is unusual ?

Just the colour and pattern; I'm a newbie and have never seen anything like this!

Sorry, I hope that didn't sound offensive. I should have clarified.

Yes Sam

Couldn't agree more.......... Good question Kerogawa.... i'm too not sure of the healthy growth rate for radiated..... Sam, could you share some of your advise to the above?

Thanks,

Jonathan Chung

I strife for 1.5 " growth per year after they reach 3" but I don't really weigh them ( holding them will give me a rough idea on if they are growing or losing weight )

Finally saw ploughshare ...........

 

[kerogawa]

oh wow. nice yniphora

 

[emystiong]

Nice , but I know some here will be upset that they saw stolen animal on display ( notice one with engrave on its back ) .

Like I say before those " scratches " on their back will not deter buyer . Only useful if you saw the actual animal and help in determining it's that particular animal !!

 

[emystiong]

Jon , be prepared to share information on where those pictures are taken too !

 

[jonckt]

I visit singapore zoo

 

[jonckt]

Sorry for not clarify in the first place. My apology...

 

[emystiong]

They had that now ? Was there last December but did not see .

Will go see again soon .

But from their ignorant in keeping chelonian I doubt these will fare well in the long run .
- bad shell rot all over on the sulcata in the Ethiopian village
- shell rot on plastron and side on all their aldabran

.....
I have pictures of the sulcata somewhere ... Post later if I find them .
