I just got 4 baby black mountain tortoises today, only a year old, cant tell sex but suppose to be a 2.2 but thats not always 100 percent. I have an outdoor enclosure built for them, but they will be indoors during the night, and most days. I should just keep them outside 24/7 but i read they shouldnt have temps go lower then 65, and it gets to the 50s at night around here.
I have never cared for yearling mt. tortoises but i have had two subadults in the past, so i'm not totally new to them. Any other info would help i know there are a few people that have these tortoises, so shared expeirience ect.
PS: i'm in so cali and i think they would do good in this climate as long as i keep humidity up useing sprinklers and plants ect.. I'm guessing these guys are almost like keeping box turtles, with humidty and such, diet i know is a little different, kinda in the middle of box turtles and fully grassland tortoises.
Here is a pictures of one of the "females"
