These are very seasonal. They hatch best if left in the ground, so most of the people breeding them do it this way. This means that a ton of them hatch around the end of September and into October after the ground has been warm enough to incubate over summer.

I should have 100+ ready to sell in October or November.

@Tom may have more available than I later this year. My females are on their second year of production and I don't have the ability to ground hatch them being in South Louisiana. But I'm sure if you posted a wanted ad around sept-jan either Tom, myself, or someone we can recommend will gladly steer you in the right direction

Are your tortoises able to live outside (is humidity a big concern?) I am from Scott and currently live in Texas but with very same weather (well a little drier)

My young adults and older adults do fantastic here. Southeast Texas is sure to be just as good.
