I find it amusing that so many posts here seem to communicate, in subtext, that everything is brand new, and tortoises keeping is no older than those who currently do it here as posters to this list-serve.
I hope you all will find some of the past accomplishment of others interesting because, well, they made it easier for you all. Those first breeding(s), those records that seem to have gotten lost by tortoise people who emulate their tortoise captives as they are sorta shy, retiring, and not so boastful are going to get this new voice.
Sulcatas have been bred privately (not a zoo) here in the US, now 25 years ago. Tinkerbell, is the founder of many private breeding groups in the US. Her offspring were sold under many other dealer's banners, and directly by the Jamisons.

Anyone here predate this breeding or know someone with that claim?
Lets get some of this history straight, OK!
