A few of my juveniles I've been raising,

[Benjamin]

A few more years and they'll be mature.

 

[Maro2Bear]

Looking nice!

 

[snowflame]

[KnNTiny]

They are so cute!!!!

 

[Yvonne G]

Those are lovely tortoises. What kind of personality do they have? Are they outgoing like Russians?

 

[bouaboua]

Nice look torts. Why some of them got number on their back??

For racing of course! Those are their studbook numbers. All of my turtles are assigned numbers so I can keep track of them.

It's been awhile since I've had any russian tortoises about but yes they are generally outgoing and scrappy!

Got it. Thank you. Best wish for your breeding program.

I have 28 animals in the permanent collection.

Nice looking tortoises. I wish you great success with your breeding program! I've always liked these, but don't have much experience with them. I'm glad to know you are out there working with them, so eventually more people will get to have and know them.

Nobody noticed that Stevie here has no eyes?

I wS going to ask how that specimen was doing. What sex did it end up? Last time I remember talking about this one was 3 years ago or so. Grown lot. Same tortoise in your avatar. Man gotten big.

Wow , that is very stunning. Is he totally normal? Does he eat and function properly? Would he breed correctly?

 

[Turtlepete]

Wow. I noticed in the original picture, haha, but I figured my eyes must have been deceiving me! Do you still plan to reproduce him in the future? I feel like I wouldn't want to due to the risk of it happening again...

Stevie is a female, I thought male for awhile but I've changed my mind.

No plans for breeding. I don't believe it is a genitic issue though.

She does well finding food and water on her own. This has been her first summer outdoors and she's having a great time.

She turns eight this Dec.

Ken just hatched a sulcata with no eyes . Thats cool to know they can live with no problem with no eyes . It's amazing how these animals can survive .

I noticed but I thought maybe it was the angle of the picture or something.

 

[Benjamin]

Just gotta keep a close eye on them,

Pun intended.
