I come here to study.

[qgm]

Oh, I am from China, a raise turtle lovers. I have some turtles, of which five manouria emys phayrei, 2 female and three male. Because of the manouria emys phayrei breeding material is very limited, I just come here to study. My English level is bad. Also please forgive me.
Below are their pictures, please watch. The biggest one just twenty pounds. I consulted Old timer 'emyemys , know from it can spawn to for a long time.
Thank you very much for his reply!

Welcome, I too have some Manouria emys phayrei (2.1) though not as large as yours. What part of China do you live in ? Looking forward to your experiances with these wonderful torts.

Hello and welcome. Those pictures are very good, especially the threesome part

Do you have another turtle species?

Welcome to the forum!
The pictures are very nice.
Thank you for sharing them with us. We love pictures.

Welcome! Just be sure to watch the males. They can get aggressive during breeding rituals and harm one another. Also need to make sure you have plenty of nesting material for these guys. Nest should comprise of leaves, loose dirt, small branches, twigs, dead palm tree branches, pine needles. Not sure if you have pine trees where you are. BTW they all look awesome. Whats the weight on your females? Might not be just ready to lay any eggs yet but look large enough too.

Here is a nest of one my Manouria Emys Emys to show an example of how they build it.

This one is a video of female adding to her nest

I love your pictures! The tortoises look great. I know that I told you that my youngest Mep didn't lay her first clutch of eggs until she was 45lbs, but your tortoises look pretty mature to me. I think the males are probably ready now, so the females maybe in a year or two.

 

[Millerlite]

They are beautiful. They look like they are enjoying live and happy.

Your brown mt tortoise did lay till 45 lbs? Do they get that big? Haha scratch that she does have emp blacks. Def get 45 lbs lol.

 

[Yvonne G]

No, He had asked me in a PM about my Manouria emys phayrei, or black mountain tortoise. My Mee laid eggs when she was only 25lbs.

2.1 means 2 males, 1 female. You will see much of this on these kinds of forums. If it is 1.1.2 that means 1 male, 1 female, and 2 unsexed. 'Experiances' should be experiences, mis-spelling I think.

If you are asking my experiences with these guys, they have been very positive. Mine are only about 4 or 5 years old, so just starting have some adult behaviours (such the males showing some territorial activity). As I live in the upper Midwest of the US (on the Missippippi), I have to bring them in the house in the fall (our winter temps average about 0 degrees C ).

Thank you.They sleep?

 

[Itort]

If by sleep you mean hibernate, no. I keep them inside at about 20 degrees C to 24 degrees C. These guys don't hibernate but do slow down. Actually I have found they are less active higner temps (above 27 degrees C) and tend to spend more time in shade and soaking pools.
