John is probably the most knowledgable and successful Egyptian breeder in the USA. He keeps his indoors as do I. I believe Kelly (tortadise) still does as well. I hope to eventually experiment with keeping part of my group outdoors during the non chilly wet months but haven't as yet. But it's...

Sorry I didn't see your post earlier Annette.

Yes I sell my excess babies when I feel they are old/large enough. USA only.

Wow what a cool tortoise to find. I hope he does well. I didn't know they got that big Kelly.

I believe I've read that they need a substantial day/night temperature drop. Is that correct Kelly?

Kelly - approx what is the ratio of the decomposed granite to soil in your substrate ?

Beautiful tortoises! I hope you are successful in breeding them.

Anthony I hope you hatch some as well.

The mottled one?

This week's hatchlings.

A little different than my Egyptian tortoise hatchlings.

Looks like you are doing a great job raising them.

You are very lucky to have the Egyptian tortoise. As Chris mentioned the wild caught ones can be very delicate. Very few wild caught adults are left in the USA.

Beautiful tortoise.

This is what I found in the incubator when I came home from work yesterday. He's still in the egg today taking his time.

9 inches but how old?

Looks like they are doing well!

They probably do take advantage of other animals burrows in the wild especially the younger ones.

Was he endoscopicaly sexed?

I've hatched one P.a.a. in the past and have 2 eggs in the incubator. Takes a lot of patience.
