Astro is growing nicely. I've raised him since he was a hatchling in 2004. I'm sending him off to copulate(successfully I'm hopeful for) with a 80 year old female radiated. Should find out fertile results this fall. He's not a super "lemon blast creamsickle" or "mega blonde flame thrower" but he's still cool. I'm just excited to know I'll be sharing half of hopefully 60-80 baby radiated tortoises next year. He's still very young. But his tail and gular scute is starting to really pronounce. I used a 16 pound Sulcata female to see what his breeding behavior would consist of. He successfully flipped the female. She was removed so before he could do anything else. I think he's ready.
