Sam any update?
I have my first tort back in 2001 Indian Star of course. Then Radiata in 2003 (this one I hibe it to my friend in 2006). I work out of the city.
Than I fell in love with saltwaterfish and sps.
Afterworling for 12 years I back with the tortoise and just got my self a mid size, high dome and round Radiata. And still can not afford yniphora.
9 year old boy ( still growing ) playing catching up to mom's size !! View attachment 178476
Mom's reaches me scutes already worn out from max growth and weathering .
She's a dwarf or the boy has hidden giant gene or from better nutrition under captives condition .
This is very interesting. So instead of going into brumation state they are still actively breeding.. Is this the first year they're like this?All are great , some hatches , some still eggs in the " cooker" .
Laying season ended , most in "hibernation" mode ! But 1 or 2 never rest . Thus the odd nest throughout the year .
Monumental as always sam! Red tape for sure. Don't believe in it. You provide that hope for this species for sure.View attachment 223559
New hatch , new hope for the specie ! ( all red tape , bureaucracy ....... aside )
20 years down the road, ppl will thought ploughshare originate in malaysia rather than Madagascar [emoji12]
I wont want that much attention - WWF , TRAFFIC and many many NGOs will pressure my government to track me till the end of my Life !!
Illegal to keep and breed !
// So i just keep and breed all species i work with for my own enjoyment and enrichment .
Cheers
