Neil,

Wonderful Radiated pictures. Since acquiring mine, they have become my favorite tortoises. They are more personable than any other species I have come across. Hopefully captive breeding will make these beautiful creatures more widely available than they are currently.

I'll put it this way, I own 300 ball pythons, 40 some tortsoise (sulcata's, redfoots, yellowfoot, hermanns, Leopards) and when I got this guy home, my wife said (for the first time) you have to put that one on display in a nice setup and not just a tub. Next think I know she spends $300 for a display setup and won't even let me feed him because she wants to "bond" with him. We love him and I'm currently looking to try and pick up a group of 5 or 6 more within the next year.

I myself kept a baby Radiated tortoise for 8 months and Didnt really notice its personailty come out till it hit about a year old or so. Most of the time the young Radiata was Very, Very shy around me and I felt that my 2 redfoots(columbian N cherry head) had a Lot More to offer personality wise. Still the fact that the Radiata was a Rare tortoise and Very beautiful made owning it a Rewarding experience and I regret that He was sold due to financial difficulties. Im gonna buy a pair of baby Burmese Stars in 2006 !!! Good luck Neil w/ your Gorgeous Little Radiata

Good pics. May I know how to get permit for Rediated Tortoises?Thx.

That seems like a really pretty little radiata. They do have some kind of personality to go with their looks.

Your Right Mayday they do have personality buts its kind of Small compared to Redfoot personalities.
