RADIATED ENTHUSIAST QUESTION

[ALDABRAMAN]

* Any one ever actually seen a radiated tortoise that was all solid black?

* Well it appears that the poll feature is dysfunctional.

* My question is regarding my conversation today with a fellow located in Miami, Fl. that claims he has one that is entirely black for sale. My intention is to make arrangements soon and actually see this tortoise. If it is true, I will for sure purchase it!

I got the blank page again when I voted, my answer would be no

* I have called several radiated breeders/keepers that i know and so far none have seen or heard of one!

* I know the overall attraction seems to be high yellow, however wouldn't it be unique for one to be all black with absolutely no yellow at all?

I have seen some pretty black radiated but never a solid black. That would be unique

A solid black radiated would have to be one of the most sought after radiated out there. Pics are a must here Greg!!!

I have seen a ton of rads wild and captive and have never heard of an all black

 

[turtletania]

Never heard nor seen a totally black one. I have seen some with not a lot of colour, but always some colour present.

Ive seen completely black ones, there is absolutely no yellow. Saw it here in China.

I did not see the live animal, but did see a photo. A seasonal reptile curator at a zoo showed me.

I have heard of a few animals refered to as "the black pearl", but I have never seen one with no color at all. I would love to see some pictures.
