Moving Jesse Lowe Outside

[Len B]

Moving her to her outside pen so I figured I would take a couple pics because I don't get to see her very often after the plants fill in. She had a big meal of sweet potato,hard boiled egg, pothos leaves, and mushrooms before going out so I know she has a full belly.

Happy day for her. I would be freaking out every day though if I couldn't see them. Looks like some nice clover growing.

How old is she? Do you leave her out all the time now or bring her back in at night? Awesome looking!

She is a 2009 hatch, From now until about October she is outside 24/7, and I agree with you about her looks. Thanks

Beautiful guy !!
What kind of plant did you used at her pen?

 

[Yvonne G]

I didn't realize the impressed tortoises show mottling. She's a beauty. do you have plans to get another of the opposite sex?

Great job Len. I look forward to seeing more posts about her as she matures.

I have quit a variety in there, colacosia, alacosia, hosta, bamboo, fern, jack-in the-pupit, are the main food plants though.

alocasia hmm...sounds good,gotta try that

Note to keepers of OTHER types of tortoise, not Asian tortoises:

Alocasia and colocasia are toxic plants. These plants grow wild where the Manouria tortoises live in nature and are part of the Manouria tortoises' diet. I would not offer them to, for example, sulcatas, russians or leopards. Redfooted tortoises MIGHT be able to eat them, but I don't know for sure.
