These and the other are ornate. Some might say more attractive?
I know, I've had ornates and 3 toed for over 20 years. I didn't post any pics of the 3 toed. I was saying they are soaking and mating in other tubs lol

The first pic I posted was with 4 ornates and it said my 3 toed were soaking in other tubs, the second pic I posted was 2 of the ornates still at it 3 hours later.



here is a picture of most of my group

Oops uploaded wrong photo . She'll all bumpy from being dropped by young children hole drilled through the shell, to tether him. That was done a lot back then. I was gift them last summer. Perhaps you can help me out? Regarding their settling into my home. They live in garden and were due to hibernate but since they have been with me the smaller one has bullied the bigger one , mating him , biting him. I separated them. They both stopped eating and both lost 100 g of their 900 g approx . So I haven't hibernated them . They are in the warm bedroom in door enclosures with heat lamps. However I can't get them to eat much. Two small lettuce leaves and 3 slices of cucumber . They have been offered all the leaves from the tortoise table, I have most in my large uk garden . But they refuse them, been giving them warm baths . So just wondering if you got any other info I need. Your torts look amazing . Thanks Gill image.jpeg

Boomer just put 14 eggs in the ground, her first 2 clutches didn’t come out fertile. Fingers crossed this time around. Off to the incubator.
