I decided to take a few pics today. Here are the radiated tortoises playing with hay. Haha. And then the younger Yniphora. And the two turtles.

Gorgeous animals! Are you planning to breed them in the future?... And are those sea turtles? I'd love to see their enclosure.

I see you've got sea turtle. How big is your aquarium to keep the turtle?

Beautiful torts. How do you have sea turtles? I have never known of being able to buy them or own them. I love sea turtles.

I got the turtle from southern China, it was captured by the army and was going to become a trophy of some sort but i bought it off so they wouldnt kill it and hang it on their walls.


Some more

Glad you were able to save it. Could you post a pic of its whole enclosure. The bits and pieces in the pics looks really nice.

Wow! Beauties! All your tortoises are lovely. Thank you for sharing pictures with us. Love.

The Chinese army was going to kill that sea turtle? No-no-no!

Thank you for saving it from death. It is special.

Wow all sorts of endangered species. Hawksbill, ploughshare and radiated. China sure does have it all. Is the hawksbill eating well for you?

Yes both are eating well. Grown quite a lot. They love to eat the fish though :( and the seaweed things growing.they lovetp eat the sponge that grows. Most of the aquarium is a reef

Well that is what they feed on in the wild! You would be in big trouble keeping sea turtles in the US. They hatch right here on our beaches, really cool to see in the middle of the night. Highly protected species!

Beautiful tort. However that water dish is way to small. A large clay flower pot saucer works really good for a water dish.
