Beautiful little tortoise!

That is a really nicely colored Radiated Tortoise. It is possible it might be from my bloodlines. Who bred it?

I thought it might be. Those folks have several of my tortoises. Do you know the studbook numbers of the sire and dam?

I’m not 100% sure but i think the dam was 1690..not sure about dad

That is interesting. I was the breeder of #1690 and sold her to the Mad4Rads folks when she was 5 years old and 12.5" SCL.

Here are some pictures of her at 5 years old, 1 year old, and just after birth:

Wow that’s amazing, she’s very beautiful . It’s an honor to have a tortoise whose line can be traced back to you!
