What can be said about these guys? Flat that's what! Pancakes as the name inplies are flattened unlike any other tortoise in the world. Meant for life in large rock outcrops they have little need for a domed shell. Known to be the fastest tortoise in the world these little ones will get up and go when given the chance. Though I have a large group of adults they produce only one egg at a time so availability of captive bred offspring is sporadic throughout the season. Check the for sale section to see what's on hand and contact me with any questions you may have.
