Nice to see those Photos Annette. They are all beautiful, but the one in the plastic dish facing to the bottom of the screen is a total screamer.

Agreed will. It almost looks like a blonde leopard tortoise if you don't do a double-take. Great photos too. Do you know which sub-species you have? Are these in the U.S.?

I prefer the one in the top left of the first photo. The yellow head on that tortoise is gorgeous.

Great to see your herd, Annette.

I love this one too. He is sooo yellow, very shy though and is aestivating now.

Anthony this is a female, which is a beauty. The one next to it is smaller, but looks also like it would be a female.both are beauties!

I started out with Pyxis arachnoides and stayed with them. All are Pyxis a.a from different breeders.

Mine go outside every day. I mist them once or twice daily with the mist setting on the hose. Also half their substrate is filled with New Zealand Sphagnum moss which has great moisture retention and stays wet 24-48 hours for them to have a place that's humid. They love to bury themselves in it.

I have a pen outside where I would like them to stay until fall when the temps are cooler, but I'm not sure whether I'll keep them in a 4x2 or 8x2. They are not really very active.They come out eat and go back hiding.
