Several years ago I kept one of the Manouria emys phayrei that hatched here, and sold the rest. When it was big enough to go outside I threw together a little pen for it on the edge of the big Manourias' area. I've since sold that tortoise, and the little pen has been vacant for a couple years:
Last year Will hatched out quite a few Manouria emys phayrei and a couple had aberrant scutes. I asked him to hold onto those two for me, then a month or so later I bought a hatchling Mep from Vic Morgan. The two and the new one are a month apart in age. I also have a three year old Mep that I kept from the last batch that hatched here on my property before the factory moved to San Diego to live with Will. These tortoises have been living in a tort table inside the Mep now Mee shed and it's time for them to move outside. So I reconditioned the little pen:
I have some dichondra seed that I'll sprinkle over the dirt in there, plus some Johnny Jump Up seed. Hopefully I can get the seeds to grow and cover the bare dirt.
