Yes, she was a bit shy when we first acquired her. Nowadays she comes seeking her daily shower dose
Hello everyone,
I live in the Seychelles and have owned a tortoise all my life. Grandfather gave each grandchild 1 or 2 tortoises born in the same year of our birth. He used to breed them. However, I am not an expert. I have learned a lot by reading on this forum. Thanks to all who have contributed one way or another.
Here is the tortoise given to me:

Male, 29 years old, about 89cm/35inches
Altogether, siblings and I have 5 tortoises. 3 males & 2 females.
2017 is the first year we have retrieved eggs from the soil and have successfully had a few hatchlings. As far as i can remember, the first hatchling which came out of the soil by itself and survived was in 2008. It was sold last year. We have had a few more over the years but not consistent.
In short, I am still a beginner after owing a tortoise all my life. I hope to still learn a lot.
how do you know if your baby is a male or female? can you teach me?
Hi.
It is not so easy to know if a baby is male or female. Sorry.
Do you already have a baby or are you looking to get one?
i already have 1, about 8 centimeters
That is very young. Ours get to that size on average at 2 months old.
Is that a park or somthing? Too bad the pens are so small but beautiful tortoises all the same
So all these beautiful tortoises are kept in small pens only for tourist attraction ? I feel sad when I see this. Reminds me how in Germany we keep our pigs and cows for meat and milk ....They are a small tourist accommodation establishment with a restaurant offering nice Creole food.

Is that grin because you agree or not with that statement?
Iplease let us know your secrets
What kind of things do you look for to tell you over that long time?~ We generally can tell after consistent observation when they are very young, however it takes much time.
