My normal tortoise day lots of pictures

**sarah** · 04-09-2010, 03:10 PM

Hello everyone hope your well

Ive taken lots of pictures to share with you of my tortoise world.
We have around 50 tortoises and they do take alot of my time up, time well spent i say!!! My leopards are still at my parents house but i now live 6 doors or so away from them on the same road. My parents have a huge garden going to waste NOT ANY MORE lol

anyway here we go

Iberas the largest one is believe it or not over 3 years old, she was the only one out the the clutch that hatched and is growing but so so slowly, she has one small eye. The others are 2, 3 week old hatchlings and one 5 month old.
The tub is a large ikea tub with soil at the bottom, we have lots of chickweed growing naturally in there at the moment. Over the top is the top of a rabbit cage

Red foots sunning themselves, my dad has a huge plum tree and brings me loads around hence millions on plums

Tango the ibera MY BABY who i love sooo much ive had her from a tiny baby 13 years aho. The 3 year old young tortoise mentioned in first picture is her child
Right in the background you can see one of my dogs that are fenced away from the tortoises

Iberas in the greenhouse
You see the tortoise to the left of the picture with her legs apart. She is over 100 and is trying to dig a nest. LAst time she dug a nest covered, but laid no eggs. It must be her hormones but who knows if she has eggs now

Baby iberas with the chickweed again

I forgot i had the slippers on untill someone bit me!!

brilliant pics lovely to see them all

**sarah** · 04-09-2010, 04:17 PM

Thank you
The enclosures are really basic at the moment, due to only moving here recently. But they work well. Next year they will be 10 times better with lots more plants growing

They look really great Sarah, you have given me some ideas for when I do mine next year and dogs are really cute.
