Not bad looking. Are they the only torts they have?

I never realized how many turtles and tortoises my zoo has until I went looking for them. I found hingebacks, burmese mountain tortoises, and redfoots in the jungle exhibit, desert tortoises and box turtles in the desert exhibit, radiateds and flat tailed tortoises in the madagascar exhibit... and then at least one turtle in almost every single water area...from snapping turtles to HUGE soft shelled turtles, and of course the sea turtles in the aquarium... I was quite impressed.

Strangely enough, no sulcatas though. I remember them having a pair that roamed the fenced off area in front of a building, they weren't really an exhibit or anything, more like eco-friendly lawn mowers.

Those are really nice looking sulcatas, by the way

The largest Sulcata has to be right at 100lbs, 2 had a fight while i was there, will try to post vid. I forgot to mention, they do have a really neat Texas Tortoise ! It is a small zoo by zoo standards but it is a great place to go.

Small zoos are nice because their setups are usually much better for the animals
