Cute CB 2009 Elongated tortoise – 9” male (Indotestudo elongata )
Species: Elongated tortoises come from well shaded habitats that provide them relief from hot weather and also ample humidity. This species doesn't like to get too hot. This male has been with me since 2010 and is a solid animal.
Enclosure: Outdoor housing whenever possible is the best way to go. A large escape proof habitat with lots of plants and site barriers will work best, especially when you have more than one tortoise.
Diet: Feeding on home grown weeds, hibiscus flowers and leaves, mulberry leaves, cactus pads, spring mix and once a week a treat of Mazuri tortoise chow.
Who am I? My name is Michael. I am a software engineer by profession and conservationist by passion. I am a registered wildlife rehabilitator who focuses on native pond turtles but also handles rescue and adoption of other non-native species. I have been keeping and caring for turtles and tortoises since 2001. I breed a few species of turtles and tortoises with a heavy focus on Asian species. I offer captive bred hatchlings to others with the hope of getting them started with healthy well started animals so they will have a good experience and will enjoy the hobby and hopefully down the road will help with chelonian conservation.
What to expect: I am happy to answer any questions you have, before and after the transaction is over. The most important thing for me is that my hatchlings get a good home so if you are new to the hobby then I am happy to help you with every aspect of their care but please first understand their requirements before buying one . E-mail is the best way to stay in touch with me but as time permits I will be happy to answer your questions via a call. My support does not stop once the hatchling reaches you and you are welcome to e-mail me whenever you have any questions. I do not have a web site, yet, but please note that I am NOT in the business of selling animals. I am a hobbyist who breeds many species with the goal of making available healthy hatchlings for others to have a successful and enjoyable experience. I have many reviews online, check out the links below

Guarantee: The tortoise is guaranteed to be alive and outwardly healthy upon arrival if signed for upon delivery. Yes, someone must be present to receive them. Any DOA or obvious problems must be reported within an hour of delivery and will require verification by photo or return.
I also provide a 7 day health guarantee, yes you read that right, as long as you have the proper setup (yes I will take the the time to ask lots of questions
) and know how to care for the species. If you are not familiar with this species then ask me about their care. The tortoise will be marked and will need to be shipped to me (at your cost), if it passes away within 7 days, for me to honor the 7 day guarantee. A replacement hatchling will be shipped to you at no cost and yes I will cover the shipping cost as well.
Price: $250 including overnight shipping.
Shipping: I will ship via UPS or FedEX for next day arrival. Please note that if you live in a small town or remote location then even if I choose 10.30 am delivery the package might still not be delivered until later in the day. So please check with UPS and FedEx for delivery times in your location. Sorry but no USPS or second day shipping. I will e-mail you the tracking number when the package is shipped to you.
Packaging: No additional cost for the box. Cool packs/heat packs will be added, free of cost, as necessary.
Payment: - Prefer postal money orders but can also take paypal. Please e-mail me for my address or paypal ID depending on what you are using.
Please e-mail me at [email protected] if you have any questions. Thank you.
