Agree. I love your tortoises. They are stunning!
Now, the chaco,have to say, is a trip. It kinda looks like a sulcata that went into the washing machine, like a wool sweater, and shrunk.
How old is yours? And is it captive bred or did it come in long ago? Sure wish there were more of them in the States. Cuties.

Chaco is a holy grail type of tortoise. Here in the USA at least. Not imported in much from their native South America. They look like sulcata that got put in the wash and shrunk to me. Mini me of sulcata. Lovely. Love their faces. But reading about them, hard to breed in captivity. They are cute but seems like one of those experienced owners only kind of tortie.

Here is an informational link, Elohi ... http://www.anapsid.org/chaco.html
