Seven Redfoot. 6 to 22 pounds.
Just a beginners group compared to some of our other members.
But just one more would result in divorce. (So I'm told.)
Any cherries in your group?

You always mention your Manoura emys emys (am I right with the full name?!) Are their personalities different? What makes them your favorite?

They're very personable and people-oriented. They have a lot of personality, and their habits are so very different from other tortoise species. For example, they build a nest like alligators do, and after they deposit the eggs in the nest, they guard it for a couple days.

my husband told me that we should get rid of my MEPS and keep the leopard because it 'looks Neater'. MEPS are more personable even as youngsters. my leopard is still shy I've had him about 6 months.

I have a 4 year old leopard tortoise that's named Big Daddy Diesel thanks to my husband... and two 1 year old Burmese Black Mountain tortoises (meps) named Simon and Helga.
