High Orange Yniphora and more

[narattah]

I thought I'd share some of my friends' Yniphora (and some Radiata) pictures here.

This one is High Orange and apparently is still very shy.

Now on to the other ones.

Aren't these little guys too adorable?

LOL. OH hey. Why dont you all look at my pics of Super Exotics, some of wich you cant keep in the states, frolicking around on my patio. Unreal! Nice animals

WOW! Great looking tortoises.

What is the light colored one in the last picture, that someone is reaching for.

That's also a Yniphora. I thought the light ones are quite rare and they do look like replica models.

Really nice tortoises, would love to visit thailand one day! Its like a haven for rare tortoises! You guys seem to be doing a pretty good job with the animals too.

Yeah, tortoises is a big market in Thailand. It's really easy to obtain them here.

By the way, that high orange one goes for like $6,000+ here, crazy.

They all look very smooth, no pyramiding. Can you tell us how they are housed? What the diets are?

I know your humidity will naturally be high. Just wondering about the other conditions involved with raising them that smooth.

Lots of discussion on other parts of the forums here about pyramiding and how to avoid it.

Thanks for your input.

Wow, thats really interesting to know. Is it perfectly legal there to purchase protected species and such? Any permits/license required?

[Tortuga_terrestre]

WOW! That is some collection; it makes my collection look crappy hahaha. Im just kidding..I love my CDT's, but I would not mind having a Radiated or an Aldabra in the mix.

 

[gummybearpoop]

I love all the Astrochelys (Radiata & Yniphora) photos! Thanks for sharing.

I would pay $6,000 for that Yniphora if it were legal here in the states.
