It has been quite some time since I last posted here, I hope you've all been well.
My proven ~90lb female laid a rather large clutch almost a week ago. I never candled any of her past clutches over the years and they've hatched, for the most part in my Hova-Bator.
With this clutch, I thought...
Thank you for the response Yvonne.
Yes, I was referring to the tall grass-like plant. I'll try to get a seed stem picture (not sure how yet, but I'll figure it out). If it turns out to be an edible grass, I'll move them in!
Not exactly sure the type of plant this is. It's outside the parameters of my yard where the Sulcata herd lives.
Curious as to whether or not it is edible as my Russian tortoise used to eat them back in the day and never seemed sick from it. She was rehomed to a friend of mine a while back but...
He's definitely settled well into my herd. I thought my 100lb male was big but George makes him look tiny! He's a backbreaker, that's for sure. Very friendly too.
I believe the brand scale we use is Brecknell, the vet uses another brand but essentially the same thing.
Rather large pad that we maneuver the tortoise on to, gives out a quick digital reading.
I've got another male that weighs in at just about 100lb. Years back I had a 120lb or so male that passed of health complications.
How I move him around? I have a very large wooden pole which I kind of tap on him gently to get him to move, then I guide him around. Otherwise I need two others...
Would anyone know if this male happens to be a Sudanese? I suspected it with my near 100lb male, but this guy seems to have much more prominent features. I've noticed head differences as well between some specimens and Sudanese over time - but still can't tell. I can post more photos tomorrow...
I have another unboxing video coming tomorrow! Also, if you know my videos - you haven't seen George yet. Tank and him seem to occupy two different parts of the yard.
Tomorrows unboxing will be exciting! Pond addition.
