🐢 What Are Brown Mountain Tortoises?

“Brown Mountain Tortoise” is a common name often associated with the Manouria emys complex — a group of ancient Asian tortoises found in tropical and subtropical forests of Southeast Asia. These tortoises are primitive, big-boned, and absolutely mesmerizing to watch.

Their high-domed, weather-worn carapace, earthy coloration, and calm disposition make them ideal for intermediate to advanced keepers who appreciate something with character.
