This tortoise belongs to a friend who moved to an apartment and couldn't take the tortoise with her. Its still hers, but I have it full time.

This one came to me as a rescue from Cincinatti, Ohio.

The eggs in my incubator are from the girl in the first picture. Some of them look a little pink, but most of them are nice and white. Fingers crossed!

Always like to see pics of the bigger ones. The two gpp's are also looking great. I would hate to fall on that agave though.

I am very seriously concidering a leopard hatchling. When it is older and larger, will there be issues between a leopard and a Sulcata?... and if not, will you be selling your hatchlings?

I'm trying not to count my hatchlings before they hatch. The female hadn't been with a male in over 3 years, so I'm not sure the eggs are fertile.

Just off the top of my head, I'd say she's maybe 15" SCL (too lazy to get up now and check for you)

Very nice. When you feel like doing some measuring, I also would love to know the size and age of the two from Tom:D
