Looks good, active, alert, and not reclusive. less than a year old. They are just like box turtles diet. Worms, snails, greens, fruits, and mushrooms are a favorite. They won't bask much, so an even mid 80s temp range is good for them. They like to retreat under plants and hides and are very active early and late evening. They also enjoy a nice warm water spray every day.Anyone have an idea about his age? Or if he looks on good shape?
Agreed. They're very underrated.I was just talking to @Benjamin about them yesterday, and @HermanniChris at the last Hamburg show. I can't believe this species isn't more popular. They are hardy, relatively cold tolerant, beautiful, endangered, and they don't get too large at all. Chris had some for 100 bucks at Hamburg, but all anyone wants to ask about is the 70 dollar sulcatas. Sad.
Did you copy this sentence or what?(I'm tagging @Yellow Turtle01 just for the heck of it)

(ADORABLE baby torts too )
I'm thinking about them too. I've always had forstenii in my five year plan, but elongate might be a slightly better fit for me for various reasons. Who knows..Yeah, it was easier that way.
Since reading this thread, I've been thinking about elongated. I have just the place for them, right in between a Manouria yard and a Yellowfooted yard. I'll have to keep my eyeballs peeled.
All indotestudo are fantastic. Forsteni can get quite aggressive though. I'm sure you know through Ben thoughI'm thinking about them too. I've always had forstenii in my five year plan, but elongate might be a slightly better fit for me for various reasons. Who knows..
