San Diego Zoo Tortoises!

[Tortuga_terrestre]

I took my son to San Diego Zoo yesterday...Future tortoise keeper? I hope so...or else my tortoises are goners..

Hey Girl, Whats yo name? hehehe

Definitely Wild Caught.

Galapagos Enclosure...Where is the grass?

I couldnt help myself....

What the heck?

Very small enclosure for this guy...

I think some TFO members have a better setups than this....

Question...Whos the monkey?

Its a good zoo. They take good care of their torts.

Did they have more Gpp there? Last time I went (about 3 years ago) they had about 6 or so scattered around different pens.

 

[ALDABRAMAN]

Great!

 

[Tortuga_terrestre]

Yeah, they had about 4 more GPP's? but this was the nicest looking pair. I was tempted to put one in my backpack...hahahaha..is that a confession? Im totally banned.

Well, it's good to see them going at it. I wonder if they ever get any puppies?

How big was that pair?

 

[GeoTerraTestudo]

Wow, those leopard tortoises are big and old. I thought they were Galaps for a moment there.
San Diego has a great zoo and wild animal park. Glad you enjoyed it.

I was at the San Diego zoo about 3 weeks ago and they had an adopt an animal thing, we bought a toy Galapagos tort and all the money went to a enrichment thing for the animal you chose of course I chose the only Tort option they had

Aww Angi, I would offer my son up for the day...he loves that zoo, we went for his 10th birthday....he is going to be 12 next month....but I would be jealous that you two were going and would have to go too.... LOL

 

[Tortuga_terrestre]

Man, I would love a couple babies from this pair... I would say the male was atleast 20 inches plus and the female 18 inches? Definitely the biggest Leos Ive seen in person....No doubt P.pardalis...Does anyone have connections at this ZOO? lol

Not fair Angela my 12 year old won't go. I wonder if it has anything to do with the fact that I craved cheese burgers from the Wild Animal Park when I was pregnant with him......no I think San Diego kids just get burned out on the zoo, but I still love it

Yes Tortuga I agree you son is a cutie, enjoy it while it last they morph in to teenagers overnight
