Hi all my name is Khanh (pronounced con) and this is my first post to this wonderful forum. Second time tortoise owner. First time was decades ago and after reading a lot I have been upgrading my enclosures over and over. Almost to the perfect enclosure...but for now it’s doing the job even if it is inefficient. I haven’t named them yet...after reading so many stories of young torts dying I figure I’ll name them once they’re a little older and I’m a little more confident. So without further ado....here’s a intro of my little leos.
Number 1 coming in at 217 grams. Got him/her from a petshop near by. Definitely had a lot of pyramiding but she was large and I got a good price to save her. Not sure on age...I’m guessing around 1.5 years.
Number 2 at 66 grams is from a local hobbyist. She breeds them and sells them locally. Starts them off right with high temps and high humidity.
Number 3 at 59 grams came from same hobbyist. Both 2 and 3 from same batch.
Number 4 at 55 grams came from a local socal breeder “torts ‘r’ us”. They raise them up right as well.
Number 5 weighs in at 46 grams. Same batch as number 4. Very cool patterns from this breeder. They have a Facebook page with pictures of all their torts. So many beautiful and unique patterns.
Number 6 comes in at 41 grams. Same breeder as 2 and 3 but different clutch of eggs.
Last but not least number 7 is only 38 grams. Same clutch as 6.
So that’s the whole family. I’ve only had them 1-4 months but hopefully with luck they get along and I’ll be able to keep everyone. Thanks for all this forum has taught me and will continue to teach me. Hopefully my torbies will grow up big and beautiful like the many I’ve seen on here. Grateful for everyone and their hard work here. Hopefully I can contribute in the future.
