I am making MONSTRO! available...but he is going to be $2000! I really don't wanna let him go at all...but am putting more time into my wolves...having less time for him!
The City offered me early retirement a year-and-a-half ago...then welched on all the 'promises' I hate Newsom with a passion...so leaving CA was almost obligatory...plus I needed more property for my OTHER babies...but spring and summer have been perfect for the tortoises! Say Hi to the other...
FIRST post in a long time! We have relocated from CA to NC this past year! MONSTRO! decided to make an appearance! He took over one of the youngster's burrows and decided to make it his own! That burrow is about 10 feet deep right now...another two feet and he'll excavate his first...
I do...and they range from 6 months to a year...the biggest three weighing between 2 and 3 pounds. Under a pound $250 shipped Over a pound 500 shipped. Discounts for multiples! And MONSTRO! is also available...10 years old...27"...110 pounds...and he be a grand...no shipping for him!
If you offer Mazuri dry...that's fine... but you'll also have to do a forced soak to ensure you're getting enough water in them...don't need kidney stones! I always suggest using Mazuri in a recipe...with lots of hay/herbs, etc

NOOOO! I wish I could take him...but I'm working strictly with Sudans now...and anacondas! Is it safe to presume you meant 25 inches? MONSTRO! is 26 and 96 pounds. I wish you luck with your endeavors!
Here is the variety of shells from the Mean Machine...my F1 Sudanese from ATA ...who acquired a herd of 9.8 animals from Brad about a decade ago! A couple have slight pyramiding...the rest are perfect...some look pyramided here...but the are not...it's just an illusion! @goReptiles
Here's the link to my Sudanese thread...updated shell shots!

Females are hit and miss. Brad had 60-100 pound females...no larger! I'm checking on this F1 herd. Again, MONSTRO!'s mom was 189 pounds 9 years ago. She's in the foreground of this pic.
First...their carapace is more prehistoric...the area we call growth lines are more like cuts in the shell...no white! Their extremely individual in their growth rate...and it always seems that there is one that outgrows everyone early. For Tom, it was Gargantua! I had one that I had since...
I currently have a small herd of babies from F1 Sudanese...there is definitely something different about the carapace. In addition, the original dozen or so that @Tom and I got from Brad were iffy (for the most part)...although I visited with Tom's Gargantua in the late Fall and he definitely...
