wow Thanks for your pictures. They are amazing. I am in love.

Are they Dutch bred? Are they related to each other?

All in all, you are very lucky to have these, they are as uncommon as they are pretty.

Your set-up is really cool too.
Where did you buy MegaRay? In a fair?
MegaRay products are unavailable in France, at least for now. However I guess there is a German retailer.

Wow merci pour ces photos. Elles sont superbes. J'adore.

Elles sont NC Hollande?
Tu as beaucoup de chance de pouvoir élever cette espèce, qui est aussi belle qu'elle est rare.

Ton terra est super aussi.
Ou as-tu acheté ton MegaRay (ampoule UV qui vient des USA, de bonne qualité)? A une bourse?
Les produits MegaRay sont indisponibles en France, pour le moment du moins. Cependant, je crois qu'il existe un revendeur en Allemagne.

yearlings or babys 550 to 650€

Subadults 650-750€ (some of them with extra-scales)

It depends on the fair, some years there are no pyxis at all, other years there are plenty of babies and juveniles. Mature tortoises are more difficult to find, tought.
