Those are some cute lil boogers and great photos.

How long have you been breeding the egyptians? How long does it take for them to become sexually mature?

Is there a studbook on them as well?

Thanks

I've been breeding since 1997.

It takes males 4 to 5 years to get large enough to breed and females about 7 to 8 years to be big enough to lay.

Unfortunately there is no SSP for Testudo kleinmanni.

I know, I would give anything for one of those little guys. They're my dream tort...some day!!

O.K. now someone has to explain to me what is so special about this species of tortoise? How big do they get when they're full grown.

 

[egyptiandan]

The males get 3 to 4.5 inches when full grown and females 4 to 5.5 inches. They are very much endangered in the wild. They are only found in 3 countries, Libya, Egypt and Israel. They are all but extinct in Egypt.

I have one baby. I am a retired veteran and have the time and energy to start a colony. I am investing slowly. How old and big do the Kleinmannis have to be to become sexually mature? I keep reading different answers and getting different answers from different breeders.

Males are sexually mature between 3 and 4 inches. Females are sexually mature at 4 inches.

I was wondering if these little beauts are temp sexed at all?

 

[egyptiandan]

I'm getting a 50/50 ratio of males to females with the temperature I'm hatching at.

Would it be possible to maybe work something out, maybe a deposit or something?? I hope so : )
