I love my sully's. But I looove the looks of Leos and plan to get some when I can. But of course I HAVE to have an Aldabra when I have enough space to house one )

 

[Floof]

Russians and Leopards, hands down. Sulcatas are up there, too, for their bossy, king-of-everything personalities. I also love the look of Marginateds, but I've never met one bigger than a golf ball, so I can't call them a favorite yet!

I hate this question. Every time this question gets asked it reminds me of the extent of my insanity. Here's my list:
1. Sulcata
2. South African Leopard
3. Burmese Stars
4. Eastern Hermann's
5. Burmese Mountain Tortoises
6. Galapagos
7. Pancakes
8. Russians

Sanity is subjective...and always over-rated...

2. that thread lacks some of the great pictures that have been posted on this one.

3. Any excuse to brag on and show pics of our darlings in a good one.

I'm so glad Tim/Robin posted! Loved that teeny, tiny baby!!!

 

[Melly-n-shorty]

and.........

what kind of tortoise is this?

 

[Yvonne G]

I'm guessing its a spider (Pyxis arachnoides).

 

[Melly-n-shorty]

The coloring is remarkable! thanks Ynonne.

 

[Tim/Robin]

and.........

Yvonne is correct, but more specifically it is a Pyxis arachnoides arachnoides.

We agree!! I will start another post soon of hatchling Pyxis arachnoides arachnoides. I have one egg due to hatch in the next 2 weeks that I can add.

 

[BrinnANDTorts]

1-Dalmatian Hermann's
2-Eastern Hermann's
3-Speckled Cape
4-Ibera Greeks & other subspecies
5-Russians
6-Marginateds
7-Western Hermann's
8-Redfoots
9-Burmese Browns & Blacks
10-Texas

If I was forced to pick just one it would be number 1,2,3,5 or 7. But I guess that isn't picking just one either!

Speckled cape ????
