Hello !

I'm so impressed by the number of owners of Pancakes tortoises !! It's just unbelievable for a french man ! Here it's really difficult to have some of them, you have to pass a kind of exam and it's really not quick ! Laws are very strong in France and Europe for wilds animals...

So...

I have just one female and 2 males... But I'm looking for 2 or 3 females.

First tortoises and terrarium (HP terra 120X80cm):

Female :







Male:






One of the two eggs actually in the incubator :




This is the outdoor enclosure with a green house

Your habitats and setups are fantastic. The greenhouse and area around it looks very natural.

Great enclosures. You have spent a lot of time and effort on them and it shows. Hope you get a baby!

Thank you !

But it's was quite hard, because it's impossible to find some photos of outdoor enclosure for Malacochersus...

And I have some questions, for example what is for you the minimal temperature... I think that under 15°C it could be dangerous... What do you think ?
Because in France it's quite cold ^^!

Yeah your green house can only be used in the warm summer months. Any heat source in there now would be a waste of energy. They still need basking heat.
It looks like you already have a nice indoor enclosure, the stack able boxes. Can I ask what is the name of the manufacturer of those boxes and the size,(cm) please?

Pancakes are rare here too. Young pancakes in USA sells for around 220 Euro, and it's hard to find good looking ones like you have :D
