Although I’ve enjoyed these guys I have a chance to work with some more endangered species that I’ve been waiting on and need the space. Gerards line.
Asking $100 each. Located in FL but can easily ship.
The weather has finally cooled off here in South Florida. Last night we dropped down to 52 degrees. Unheard of for October. Brought these 4 in. It’s always a good time to clean them up and treat any shell fungus. They are miserable but should be back out soon. They are pretty tuned into the...

Offering this 2014 juvenile. Would love to place locally but can easily ship too.
Someone I know sent me this photo of their friend's tortoise.

This is a great book written by @Anthony P
There isn't much on the web so it's nice to get some clear organized info.
Apparently not many people work with them or if they have g. japonica they may not discuss it based on the controversy. Wish more people would be more open about such cool...

Many female terrapins are hit by cars traveling to Jekyll Island each year. The team at the Georgia Sea Turtle Center will extract the eggs from females that are killed or they cannot save. These are just some of the hatchlings that were incubated there. Very cool and lucky turtles. Once they...
These 4 hatchlings arrived yesterday.
Pretty excited to work with them. Looks like it will take a while for them to outgrow their tub.
Thank you Paul and thanks @Anthony P for suggesting them.
I happened to be driving near Allegra's house and we had casually discussed me taking home one of her girls. It's one I've really been drawn to since she happened to be lucky enough to land at Allegra and Mark's home. So I was lucky enough to adopt this beauty. She's quite large and will stay by...
Is there a universal notching system for identification? Does each scute represent the same number in different species and or countries? I've cpoied and pasted some examples and photos (none are mine) of what appears to be different systems.
Unexpected cold snap down here in the sub tropics too!!! This usually doesn't happen til January.
Normally I am ready for it use a CHE and tarps on the enclosure at night.
During the cool days I cover a good portion of the top with plexiglass.
I wasn't prepared for this so they all came into...

I have pounds and pounds of ripe bananas from one plant. Luckily they freeze pretty well.
The torts devoured a few of them...
