Here's a video update on my Spider Tortoises. My five are Pyxis arachnoides arachnoides, while four of our partners at theTurtleRoom keep this and other subspecies of Pyxis arachnoides.
Haha, yeah. It's nice to be able to have the Mrs. involved. I need to have her narrate more.Good stuff Anthony. Going with a new narrator eh?
Anything for you Jan! And as we've discussed before, I have one tortoise that has grown much slower than the others. I don't know why. Of the four that I acquired as hatchlings in 2011, three are in the 100-125 gram range and one is still under 60 grams! That small one is most active and hungry though, so who knows!?Thanks for fixing it, Anthony. Your pyxis are beautiful. Mine are growing so slowly--I need to figure out what I'm doing wrong. Too slow growth in any species isn't a problem I've ever had. I'm in the process of moving, so all my turtle and tortoise habitats will undergo a makeover. Maybe I could get some pointers from you about your habitat and diet?

The good news is, those 3 that are 100 grams plus all look like females. Fingers crossed.

Mazuri Tortoise. These little guys can't resist a warm glob of Mazuri after a bath, even on a cool spring day.What was that baby eating?
