There are people here who keep adult pairs for future captive breeding so at least we will definitely be seeing some if not many hatchlings by then. As for Platynota, we also have some breeders here as well.

It would take many more years to have any captives. But hopefully there will be some good news in the future. That's my habitat and is taken by my camera, so you might be right :P

I'd like to share pictures of a baby Ploughshare tortoise. At this size, it does look like Indian Star with Sulcata shell :) Can you tell the difference?

Maybe the nuchal scute lacking ones inherit some Galapagos gene lol.

One of my Aldabras does not have a nuchal scute also, but it's as healthy as it can be :)

I thought my tortoise has quite yellow radiating lines on the shell, so as the skin. Could this be more towards a Sri Lankan than an Indian Star? The front one in this picture.

I like the Lego house, a great expensive idea :)

I was thinking the same thing. The breeding colonies need to be established more dynamically in case of any unfortunate events. Maybe in the next few years, they will.

Nope, never gave them any Celery. That was a kind of Chinese vegetable which I don't know the name. Google says it's a Chinese cabbage or bok choy, but I don't think it is. I has a high nutrition value and it is the most common vegetable that everyone feeds it here.. Here's a picture, do you...

Oh nooo :(. I guess that video was not up to date then as it was posted last year (2009). How's the current situation at that place now? Is it consistently being restored?

That is very sad to hear and I'm sorry for the lost of the male :( So where did that one and only hatchling go? Aren't there a big breeding program at Ankarafantsika National Park in Madagascar? You have probably seen this Yniphora video that says it, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PGdgiCbwT0I...

They are about 4 years old. How about yours? Please share us some pictures of them? :rolleyes:

Thank you for your concern, I'll address this issue to the owner and hopefully something could be done for a preventive measure. :cool:

No, they have a good habitat at home. The owner brings them to work sometimes. Can't avoid them eating poops though.

Yep, doesn't he look like a soccer ball?

Lol, thanks for the family relationship clarification. :rolleyes: What about the other two unlabeled adults? How could you remember which baby belongs to which mother? Don't they all look the same for those that are the same sizes?

Ah, nice breeding colony you got there. The father is ready for producing a third clutch I can see :D

I don't know how much humidity these guys get, but yeah it is inevitable now :( Maybe they came like that when he got them.

A one neat family. Are those babies from a single clutch?

Here are some pictures of a high domed Yniphora, Albino Sulcatas and Radiatas. They belong to some owner here. I'm sharing them for those who are interested. There are 23 pictures altogether so they will fit on 2 posts. Who does not want to own them? :P...
