Your tortoises lay eggs every few months and I am still waiting for my radiated tortoise to be matured enough to lay some eggs.
And I think all 3 of my oldest (around 6 to 7 years old) radiated happen to be male so I still have at least 6 more years to go until I can see my tortoise lay its first egg.

They are worth the wait .

I figured out I have more favorable anticipation for new posts on this thread than any other. Thanks.
Amazing how concentric and consistent the growth rings are.

Woow, i dream About these tortoises. I have a group (5) radiated. I can't find the Angonoka in belgium
Very nice ,thanks for sharing,is it male?
Ya , Male , start to flash a bit and chasing after every one smaller than him .
Are they an aggressive or territorial species? Is there another more common species whose behavior is similar to these guys for comparison?
Outside breeding season they are together and won't bother each other . Sleeping and eating together even if size differ by 6" . ( but outside breeding season I separate them into single sex group )
I won't say they are aggressive nor a territorial species .
They are rather unique as a species on their own .

Thanks. Maybe one day I will get to experience them for myself. Until then I will continue to enjoy what you share with us.
Nice

thanks for the picture comparison!
I've noticed the new growth for babies is almost black with core scutes light in colour. will these growth turns light as they mature or its just genetic being black. I've seen some very nice specimens with lighter colours and some that are almost all black except the core scutes.
