Ralph Till is one of the premier breeders of the critically endangered Egyptian Tortoise (Testudo kleinmanni) in the USA. In this episode, we discuss why Ralph chose to work with this species, their husbandry and breeding protocols, why they are critically endangered in their native range, and how private breeders are saving the species from extinction. If you are wanting to take your herpetoculture to the next level, consider following Ralph's example and choose to work with an endangered species. • SHOW NOTES: https://www.animalsathomenetwork.com/... • JOIN US ON PATREON: / animalsathome • CHECK OUT CUSTOM REPTILE HABITATS: https://www.animalsathome.ca/crh • #EgyptianTortoise #EndangeredSpecies #AnimalsAtHome • LINKS FROM THE EPISODE: • Tortoise Fight Video: • Epic Tortoise Fight • / tbtts • https://theturtleroom.org/blog/2019/0... • 0:00 Intro • 3:46 What got you started with tortoises? • 6:17 Why work with an endangered species? • 9:15 Finding Egyptian tortoises in the early days • 10:55 Why are they endangered? • 13:38 We are their only future [captive keeping] • 20:38 Egyptian Tortoise Husbandry • 27:46 BABY TORTOISE • 33:10 Do you use vitamin/mineral supplements? • 36:47 Issues with over supplementing/ overgrown beaks • 39:39 Breeding Egyptian Tortoises • 48:00 Are there any challenges to breeding? • 50:40 What other tortoises do you keep? • 53:27 The Sulcuta Issue • 56:45 Conservation Vs Preservation • 1:02:59 What is your opinion on Pyramiding • 1:03:28 BABY TORTOISE • 1:05:02 Tampa Bay Turtle Tortoise Society Inc. • 1:15:30 Outro • SUBSCRIBE TO THE PODCAST: • APPLE► https://apple.co/347PjSO • SPOTIFY► https://spoti.fi/2UG5NOI • GOOGLE► https://bit.ly/3dX6bQq • STITCHER► https://bit.ly/2UFzwHM • _________________________________________ • WEBSITE► https://www.animalsathome.ca • EMAIL►[email protected] • FACEBOOK► / animalsathome.ca • INSTAGRAM► / animalsathomeca • DONATE TO AMAZON RAINFOREST CONSERVANCY (ARC): http://amazonrainforestconservancy.com/ • BELOW ARE MY AMAZON AFFILIATE LINKS.
