elongated tortoise for sale are a beautiful species with smooth shells that tend to have a caramel to yellowish-brown color with markings. They are native to damp forest areas and tend to be more active in the early morning, before dawn, or after sunset in the evening. Because of this behavior, their noticeably large eyes are well accustomed to dimmer light levels. To reduce stress, be sure to provide your Elongated Tortoise with plenty of areas for shade.
