Radiated Hatchlings in California

[akturts]

Hey all, looking to get a radiated hatchling in California. Doesn't have to be immediate or soon, just wanna be aware of breeders I can consider reaching out to or where I should be looking, thanks!

I don't know if they breed them or just keep them, but maybe it might help you.

I hatched two radiata a couple months ago. They will be going to SoCal in a week or so for my tortoise partner to deal with. I don't know what his plans for them are, but you can contact Will at @Kapidolo Farms and ask him.

I should be getting babies this year, fingers crossed. I have older mature females, but my lone male is still on the small side. Got 2 eggs last year that didn't turn out, so hoping this will be the big year!

@Rodriguez Chelonians is might have some. Give them a try when you are ready.

That's awesome! If you do get eggs this year when would you anticipate them hatching/being ready?

Radiata typically lay in our "winter", and then they need a one month diapause break before about 90-100 days of incubation. So babies would probably be ready for sale around spring time.
