Narrow bridged musk turtle enjoying a treat of giant Colombian ramshorn snail.
Got to witness this, in person, for the very first time.
Some of the Hermann's tortoise hatchlings that are being raised up for new homes. If you are new to caring for tortoises then Hermann's and Russian tortoises are two of the species that I recommend for consideration. They are hardy herbivores that do well outdoors year-round in many parts of the US.

Some of the Reeves turtle hatchlings from this year. Reeves, as well as many other Mauremys, are notorious for nipping on the tail of other hatchlings, so it is important to set them in spacious enclosures with sight breaks.

19 years old and still growing. Sulcatas (Centrochelys sulcata) are an incredible species of tortoises, but they are not for everyone. They don't hibernate, eat a LOT, and don't believe in going around obstacles. If you live in a warm environment, have a large yard, and are not too attached to plants or decorations in your yard then they might be a good fit for you.

Young radiated tortoise hatchling feasting on mulberry pelleted tortoise food from Kapidolo Farms (https://www.kapidolofarms.com/product/mulberry-pelleted-tortoise-food-optional-hibiscus/) . I have tried it with multiple species of tortoises and they all enjoy it without any hesitation. It doesn't leave behind a big mess and that is something I personally appreciate.

Russian tortoise hatchlings busy with home grown weeds and grass. Being able to offer something from the yard in January is satisfying but definitely feels odd.
