I was bored, so I thought I would share pics of my desert tortoises. I have 6 altogether. My aunt got us Frankie, from a wildlife rescue group. The 5 babies, my mom rescued. Anyway, heres the pics!

Yay! reptiles rock! Thanks for sharing!

How old are they? What's the little ones' story? What is the breeding age of desert tortoises? ^-^

[GoldenRetrLuver]

LOL!

Frankie is estimated to be around 30 years old.

The baby tortoises are about 6 years old.

The little ones story is, my moms friend had desert tortoises. To make a long story short, she ended up having babies, and my mom wanted to raise some (shes a tortoise freak..lol), so we took them in.

How long have you had Frankie? I had more questions but I won't be a pets. :P

Hmm, do you have a permit for the babies too? All babies born in captivity have to leave the current home when they reach a year of age......


Your tortoise looks so much smaller than Lucy is. Lucy, we think is around 60 or so. He too has a nasty sheel with a bunch of scrapes but it's not broken or anything.


WolfChan, breeding age is around 25 years.

Here is a pic of Lucy, he's pretty dark.

Yes, I do have a permit from the Wildlife, Fish and Game.

If you looks on Frankies shell, right in the middle, there a tag on him, thats from the Fish and Game place. The babies have one too. Were waiting until the babies get bigger before we put theirs on.

WOW! Lucys gorgeous!
