we have a red, he is around 3yrs old. Only about a week ago, but he is fantastic. He is eating ut of our hand and enjoys a good bath. Do you keep reds, and if so, how old and what set up do you have?

I have two female and one male adult. Had them for around ten years now, and they were brought into the country in the days when adults were imported. It would be difficult to say how old they are, I would hazard a guess they are approx 30-40 years old. I also have one male and two female Yellow Foot tortoises, from the same era. Breedings takes place thoughout the year with eggs being laid generally in the latter third of the year - September to October being the most common. If you have any specific questions that I may be able to help with dont hesitate to ask.
