My name is Michael and I’m from South Africa. I have been an avid herper for about 18 years keeping mainly snakes and a few lizard species. I occasionally would keep the odd G. pardalis while it was between homes. Recently I decided it was time to give these fascinating herps a try and I acquired some lovely Angulated tortoises C. angulate. I have a group of 14 adults currently and a couple of eggs in the incubator, so in a couple of months’ time a few babies hopefully. I have really enjoyed reading through your forums and there is so much good information here! I will definitely get a few pictures uploaded soon of my tortoises and their enclosure.
