Egyptian Dwarf Tortoise  Testudo kleinmanni

    The Egyptian Dwarf Tortoises are represented by a small group of wild caught adults and 2.2 captive bred and born offspring.  Egyptian tortoises are one of the smallest species of tortoise.  Females rarely exceed 4 to 5 inches and males sometimes do not exceed 4 inches plastron measurement.  We produced these first C.B.B. babies in 1994 and have been growing them ever since.  The 2.2 captive bred and born young tortoises are hopefully a year or two from sexual maturity.  These tortoises unfortunately must stay indoors in Florida year round because in most cases the high ambient humidity is detrimental to their health over time.
