Yvonne and I have four opps holdbacks. The "opps" is a male Manouria emys emys found a female Manouria emys phayrei irresistible.
They hatched out October 1997, so they are just shy of 14 years old.
This tortoise #1 (images above) is a M.e.p. impostor, at 20 pounds.
This tortoise #2 (images above) is also a M.e.p. impostor, at 19 pounds.
This tortoise #3 (images above) is a M.e.e. impostor, at 16 pounds.
This tortoise #4 (images above) is also an M.e.e. impostor, at 16 pounds.
All these tortoises are intergrades between both subspecies of Manouria emys (ssp), and the females is a captive bred individual from the Honolulu Zoo, the male is wild caught. They have unassigned umbers in the North American Studbook for Manouria.
These are outdoor/backyard worthy, they are raised as wild tortoises, with a retreat to a night house. They are OK outside into to 50'sF.
Looking for $500 each for these pets, not breeders. Shipping will be more, and as they are larger size animals, pricey.
Offer will be here for one week exclusive to TFO, then they will be sold via multiple other venues.
Contact Will for further details, not more images. Ship from 93611, that's a Zip Code, so you can get your own shipping estimate. Probably due to size actual pick=up in Clovis Ca or Delta Dash are the best way to acquire any of these guys (they are all males).
