Claudius

[Desert]

I see that the chelonian forum is at the very bottom of the forum :O_o:

Here is my aquatic facilities for Claudius angustatus. all flow-through water systems with geothermally heated water. Claudius are not commonly kept and definitely not commonly bred. Mine are from Mexico.

The surveyor's tape is to help me keep track of who is where, so I don't have to go hunting if I want to check on a particular group.

Wow, thats an impressive set up. How many turtles in total do you have? Do you only have Claudius or do you keep others as well?

Very cool Musk turtle.

Those are all yours?! Super jealous man. That many large tortoises, you must live down south I guess. I wish I had the ability to have animals outside. That would totally change things

Yep, I live in the desert. It is interesting, having these guys outdoors.

Have you raised them from babies? How old are yours? They are really amazing creatures, nice job man.

Yep, some of these are from babies, their age is about 16 years, the oldest are about 25 years of age.

That's really great; crazy to think of how much longer they'll be around!
