I am in the middle of searching another female to pair with my male Egyptian, so your guidance is compulsory to avoid my tortoise from need to be mating with his own species for the rest of his life.

Here yah go.


Typically adults males are more elongated and females have a more round dominant feature. I have also noticed with numerous adults specimens that females flanking marginal scutes flare a bit more than males. Not by much by it is a notable difference I have seen over the years in kleinmanni

image.jpg Little guys are growing well. They are a little over one year old now. Looks like I have out of this bunch a 1.3 growing nice and smooth too. Doesn't really look like it, but side profile they are pretty smooth. The angle and pronounced growth rings in this species kinda throws the look off.

I still kick myself for never getting that Egyptian tortoise years ago at a petstore...But, I just got my first redfoot and didn't want different species until I felt knowledgeable about the redfoot. My husband wanted me to get that Egyptian and I just wouldn't do it :(

They are very gorgeous tortoises Tortadise :)
