Hey Wu-Gwei, my good friend is the Zoo Keeper at Crystal Gardens and he was telling me about the 4 Radiated Tortoises that they also have in the collection. They were confiscated from a person who was trying to smuggle them into Canada from the USA. I just thought that you might want to know about them.
Take care, Johnny.

Wow... radiated torts. I have a thing for "stary" torts. lol :D
Thanks for the tip Johnny. Gotta visit them next time I'm in Victoria.

Cheers,
JJ;)

Man... I HAVE to go there. ALthough Burmese Star are my favourites, but Indians, Spider and radiated are just as great, but out of my budget. I can go dream, eh.:D


Cheers,
JJ;)

Crystal Gardens... haven't been there in a while. If I remeber correctly, they had quite the collection of tortoises there. They have quite a large group of the pyxis do they not? But what really made my trip was the group of pygmy marmosets. First time I had ever seen one in person. Pretty small for a primate.

[snakegal12345]

yep they have spider torts
