Hello, I have some remaining slots on my wait-list for Egyptian tortoises. Multiple bloodlines will be available. Incubated for both sexes. Guidance is provided pre-sale and long after purchase. References available from new and returning customers. To be placed on the wait-list or inquiries...

Yes, that is an egg. In the photo the egg dies appear unusually large but in fact it is a typical sized egg for a 5 inch sized Egyptian.

Thank you. In the 10 years she has been in my care clutch sizes have been 1-2 eggs. This season was her first time with one clutch of 3 eggs. Six are appearing fertile with recent egg being too soon to tell. Typical clutch size for this specie is 1-2 eggs, 1-2 clutches per season.

Clea, my 22 year old is a busy girl. This marks egg # 7 of 4 clutches this season ( 3, 1, 2 and 1).

Claudia, I adore your setup! I am assured they are in very good hands.

Thank you, Claudia!

Thank you!

Thank you, Yvonne! Hopefully they will be fertile!

Three egg clutch from my 22 year old Egyptian tortoise ( Clea). I have had her for 10 years and this is her first clutch of 3. Typical is 1-2'eggs per clutch.

Thank you, Yvonne! The patterning I have seen on occasion. As the tortoise gets older it will have the shell appearance of a "typical" Egyptian.

Summer 2023 babies growing nicely.

Thank you for catching that. Thank you for noting that. Yes, I meant coco coir, there is a big difference.

Thank you for your insights. I will certainly be switching to coco fiber as I do not want to further press my luck. Nice chat!

I have used the dirt type peat moss. Do you think it is the acidity in it that can burn the carapace ? I once got one of the babies munch on loose fiber moss. I cleaned it all out and fortunately nothing happened to the baby. Since I have warned others against using it.
