South Africans, huh? I have a few of those too. Are they for sale? And do you know the blood lines?

@Tom C Two questions I've been looking for answers for:
1) What is "Rodriguez" ? Is it a person/breeder or a type of Leopard?
2) What are the marked dots on your torts shells?

Thanks

chris rodriguez was the breeder. he may have some more available as he had about 20 eggs hatching/about to hatch. alot were spoken for but he may have some available for ~ $250 each. you can search him out on FB under Rodriguez Chelonians.

the marked dots are non toxic paint so i can identify the babies from different clutches (these were from three different dams). scutes are usually marked by the breeders to identify lineage and temperature sex determination during incubation.

his adults were very impressive. the males were very bulky. he had a bunch of other chelonians, drymarchon (mexican indigos), and mexican spilotes. definitely fun visiting his place and talking reptiles
