Hello NaviCherrios - I'm following up on the hingeback tortoise that you had for the summer - If we could confirm the species, I wonder if the teacher would be willing to consider placing it in a breeding program? It might be an extremely rare tortoise! :) I could possibly trade back a...

Hi Tom - Yes! That is how I met Tony, and he came and visited our spiny forest biome at the Cleveland Botanical Garden to see our glasshouse that attempts to mimic the habitat of radiated tortoises. He's great.

Matthew Hills and I interviewed Tony Monahan on the most recent Two Turtle Tom Live show - Tony is one of the treasures of the turtle and tortoise community. If you haven't discovered him yet, give it a watch! And next up - Steve Enders, president of the Turtle Room, will be talking about Map...

This week at 8 p.m. Eastern Matthew Hills and I will sit down and chat LIVE with Tony Monahan, turtle and tortoise owner, author, artist, and college professor. Tony is traveling to turtle collections across the U.S., compiling the first ever guidebook to where you can see turtles and...

Somewhat organically, I've started doing a live show on the Two Turtle Tom YouTube channel each Thursday evening at 8 p.m. eastern, 5 p.m. Pacific. Guests have included Ralph Till, Anthony Pierlioni, and Michael Thathuvaswamy. I'd love to have you join me for an episode- either as a guest or...

Would love to know the end to this story......

Could you post photos of each of the front feet that show this detail? It's really important for us to determine what species it is. Also, do I understand that its a class pet that you will be caring for during the summer break? Thanks! -Tom

I believe you have a Kinixys spekii, but I need to know how many toenails this animal has on each of its front legs to confirm that identification. Thanks!

Bill, not a K. belliana. Looks like a spekii at best. Could be a K. nogueyi. We need to know how many toenails it has on its front feet.

Definitely not K. belliana.

Let's Talk Turtles Podcast Episode with TFO's Own @Kapidolo Farms ! Give this a listen - It's a masterclass in how to think about turtles, tortoises and tortoise keeping! And if you're digging what we're doing, please leave us a review! Thanks! -Tom...

So unfortunately, that would be ignorant, no offense implied, because it's packed full of interesting information about tortoise nutrition- Pyramiding is one aspect that they looked at as a result of high fiber diets or high starch diets, but there were many other things they also examined, and...

After seeing @Markw84 give yet another talk at TTPG about how to raise smooth, healthy tortoises, and after myself having successfully raised super-smooth tortoises for the last few years, I'm 100% confident that we need to, as a tortoise community, spread the word across the planet that we have...

It's a Home's Hingeback, Kinixys homeana.

I know this is from a year ago, but this is a very interesting paper for several different reasons. I'm wondering if @Kapidolo Farms has read this.

Ryan Dumas and I sat down with Ralph Till to pick his brain about the wonderful Egyptian Tortoise during episode 7 of the Let's Talk Turtles Podcast: Listen on your favorite pod catcher, or directly here...

This animal is a Kinixys lobatsiana. The Lobatse Hingeback Tortoise. @Yvonne G could you move this to the Hingeback forum?

Here's my latest video on my efforts with Kinixys. I hope you enjoy! How was your 2022?

Mike, do you have TRUE Kinixys spekii or the ones that have been imported since 2020? If you have the real ones, I can connect you with people that hatch them every year.

Hello Friends - I just uploaded a new video with all my westerns. Also - I'm looking for a mate for Heidi - Do you have a male that you'd like to add to my breeding project? Thanks! -Tom
