Baby Elongated Tortoise Overview
Each baby elongated tortoise for sale is a healthy captive bred and born specimen. They are maintained under optimal conditions to ensure you receive a well started pet.
Our baby elongated tortoises for sale are provided the best care possible by our loving staff. The elongated tortoise is a light yellow color and hails from parts of South and Southeast Asia. These medium size tortoises can get up to 12 inches long and weigh as much as 7 pounds. They are gentle creatures that can be hard to find but make great pet tortoises.
Breeding Elongated Tortoises
Once elongated tortoises reach maturity, a keeper may wish to try to breed them. If they are a sexual pair, healthy and in a stress-free environment, this shouldn’t be a problem. Male elongated tortoises reach sexual maturity much sooner, and smaller, than females. Males will show an interest in breeding at roughly 4 years old, and females will usually take 6 to 8 years to mature, depending on how much they are fed and whether they are allowed to rest in the winter months.
A light winter cooling of three months (only down into the low to mid 60 degrees), followed by a warm up into the 80s to low 90s degrees, and including some rainy days, triggers breeding in elongated tortoises. Male elongated tortoises have pale to vivid-yellow heads and during the breeding season the area around the eyes and nostrils become flush with an attractive pink coloration.
Elongated Tortoise Health Watch
As elongated tortoises are really only available as captive-hatched babies these days, a keeper should not be concerned about internal parasites. However, it is always good to quarantine any new additions to your collection for up to 90 days to watch for any health-related issues. You might even want to have your veterinarian run a fecal exam for you.
REMEMBER: Ivermectin, a well-known wormer in the cattle industry, will kill your tortoise. You might even remind your veterinarian of this fact, but most will know.
What To Feed Elongated Tortoises
As mentioned previously, elongated tortoises are omnivores, eating both animal and plant material in nature. I offer mine a mixed salad with a base of romaine and/or green leaf lettuce (roughly one head per adult tortoise) and top it off with a shredded mix of 75 percent vegetables (zucchini and yellow squash, sweet potato, carrots, peas, cucumber and green beans) and 25 percent fruit (usually apple, pear and banana) every third day for adults and every other day for hatchlings and tortoises up to about two years old.
