Forsten’s Tortoise for sale

Indotestudo forstenii, commonly known as Forsten’s Tortoise, the High Yellow Forsten’s Tortoise For Sale, or Celebes Tortoise, is a medium-sized tortoise generally 10 inches long and yellowish in color, as it is obvious by the name. The carapace may vary from caramel with black splodges to all-black. High Yellow Forsten’s Tortoise acquires a smooth shell. Large scales coat the anterior parts of the front legs, while the hind legs lack this protection. The unarmed skin of this species is gray to yellow.

The large solid black eyes provide them with a special ability to see well in their chosen low-light locale. Adults are often puzz by the lengthened tortoise. Indotestudo forstenii is a shy and secretive group that is usually unaggressive towards each other but while mating male Indotestudo forstenii engage in aggressive courtship behaviour. They spend the complete mid-day in hiding. Mornings and evenings are their most active period during the warm months.

The long tails and narrower shape help distinguish between male and female High Yellow Forsten’s Tortoise. The tip of the tail is tipped with a small keratinous hook. They also have a more concave plastron whereas the females’ plastron is completely flat. Breeding season brings a visible change in the theIndotestudo forsterite as their yellowish head develops a pinkish hint around the eyes. Earlier Travancore tortoise and High Yellow Forsten’s Tortoise were considered to be the same breed but now are recognized as two different species.

Forsten’s Tortoise for sale near Me – Forsten’s Tortoise Habitat

The High Yellow Forsten’s Tortoise is mainly found in the moist and damp forests of the Indonesian Islands of Sulawesi and Halmahera. Heavily planted enclosure with heavily shaded areas is preferable as their artificial habitat. A turtle table is the most common indoor accommodation for Forsten’s Tortoise, although as the tortoise grows, the size of the habitat should be upgraded up to 120 cm by 120 cm. Extreme weathers are not suitable and temperature should be varied between 60-95 degrees Fahrenheit.

Shallow water dishes of pools to marinate and drink are wishful. Overgrown habitat with dimmer light is what makes them comfortable. A 100W spot lamp should also be placed in their habitat as it provides artificial basking facilities. A basking spot of 90 degrees Fahrenheit is sufficient. A source of UVB is also necessary for Vitamin D3 syntheses so make sure the aquarium is equipped with a full spectrum luminous light.
