It’s unmistakably mating and nesting season for many turtles at the TC!

This month we have seen nests from our Parrot-beaked Tortoises (Homopus areolatus) and critically endangered Impressed Tortoises (Manouria impressa). These species are rarely bred in captivity due to their secretive habits, delicate environmental needs, and specific diets. We consider it a major success that the breeding females were born here at the TC!.

Baby Roti Island Snake-necked turtles (Chelodina mccordi) and Indian Roofed Turtles (Pangshura tecta), both threatened, continue to hatch at our conservation center and make us fall in love with turtles all over again!
