Danny do you have Egyptians too??

 

[egyptiandan]

I've had Egyptians since 1994

If they are CB than you don't have to go over-board with the set-up. They like lots of light (on 12 hours a day), 75 to 85F enclosure temperatures during the day (night time 65 to 70F), hot spot 95 to 100F. Diet the same as other Testudo, but watch the oxalic acid content as they are prone to stones. Some like outside time and others don't.
I think they are neat I've already gotten second generation hatchlings.

You have everything, don't you?! You should make a thread about all your different torts- I would love to see pics!
Do you sell Egyptians?

I have some little tiny ones. I'm brand new to them, so I'm still learning. They are adorable with great personalities.

I am supposed to be getting 3 yearlings in a week or so. I remember back in the 90s when lots of these were available. I know a lot of the perished. Glad Danny and others were able to get them going so the rest of us are now able to buy captive hatchlings.

Danny .. whats the going rate on hatchlings? CB*

 

[egyptiandan]

I've seen hatchlings go for between $400 and $600 recently.

Yes I sell Egyptian hatchlings when I get them.

Oh there are plenty of pictures of my tortoises and hatchlings in the picture section. Just search me and the picture section only, you'll get plenty.
