Most definitely one of the greatest species to work with. So gregarious and friendly.

So far so good on these guys. Sure are a challenging species. Lots of growth and eating greens now. Haven’t tried mushrooms. Made the myth go away about the only eat mushrooms. Sometimes keeping what works simple is the best method. such an odd species. Interesting to work with.

Always fun seeing little guys in the enclosure. This one was in the Suriname pen. Great growth in it.

added some arid substrate(decomposed granite, with some caliche flex base powder) Churned with peat moss and mulch. Something about adding anything new to an enclosure and the tortoises have map the whole thing. And of course it's already in the water bowl.
