Overview
The Burmese Brown Mountain Tortoise (Manouria emys) is a species of tortoise native to Southeast Asia, particularly found in the dense forests of Myanmar (Burma), Thailand, Laos, and parts of Vietnam. This species is recognized for its striking appearance, with a smooth, brownish shell, often with yellowish or orange markings, and its relatively large size. Burmese Brown Mountain Tortoises are semi-terrestrial, spending much of their time in the forest floor, where they burrow and feed on a variety of vegetation. They are typically more arboreal and prefer shaded, humid environments, making them more challenging to care for compared to other species.
Key Information
Size: 12–18 inches (30–45 cm)
Weight: 15–30 pounds (6.8–13.6 kg)
Lifespan: 50–70 years (with proper care)
Diet: Herbivore
Temperament: Generally calm and shy
Habitat & Setup
Habitat: Native to dense tropical and subtropical forests in Southeast Asia. These tortoises live in humid, shady environments with abundant leaf litter and access to fresh water.
Outdoor Enclosure Size: A minimum of 150 square feet for a single tortoise, though larger enclosures are ideal due to their size and activity level.
Substrate: A deep layer of natural soil, mulch, and leaf litter is best for simulating the forest floor environment. The substrate should be moist but well-drained to mimic their natural habitat.
Shelter: Provide a shaded area to hide from the heat of the day. These tortoises also enjoy burrowing, so a sheltered hiding spot is essential.
Climate: Burmese Brown Mountain Tortoises thrive in warm, humid conditions. The temperature should be kept between 75–85°F (24–29°C) during the day, with a drop to 65–75°F (18–24°C) at night. Humidity should be maintained at around 60–80%.
Humidity: High humidity (60–80%) is necessary to replicate their natural environment, but care should be taken not to make the environment too wet or soggy, which could cause respiratory issues.
Diet & Feeding
Diet Type: Herbivore
Suitable Foods:
Leafy greens such as collard greens, mustard greens, dandelion greens, and turnip greens
Edible flowers like hibiscus, clover, and dandelions
Vegetables like squash, carrots, and pumpkin
Grasses and hay
Feeding Frequency: Offer fresh food daily. Provide a balanced, high-fiber diet with minimal protein. Avoid high-oxalate greens like spinach in excess.
Water: Fresh water should always be available for drinking and soaking. Occasional soaking can help maintain hydration and promote proper digestion.
Care Notes
Activity Level: Burmese Brown Mountain Tortoises are relatively active and enjoy foraging for food. They can be more arboreal than many other tortoises, spending time in higher areas of their enclosure if climbing structures are provided.
Health: Ensure a diet high in fiber and low in protein to prevent shell deformities. Access to UVB light is essential for proper calcium metabolism and shell health. Monitor their weight and shell condition regularly.
Social Nature: These tortoises are typically solitary but can tolerate the presence of others if provided with adequate space. They are generally shy and will hide when stressed.
Breeding: Breeding in captivity can be difficult, as Burmese Brown Mountain Tortoises are not prolific breeders. Mating behavior often takes place during the rainy season in their native range.
Conservation Status
Conservation Status: Vulnerable (IUCN Red List)
Threats: Habitat destruction and the encroachment of agriculture in their native range
Conservation Efforts: Burmese Brown Mountain Tortoises are protected in many parts of their range, but their populations are in decline due to habitat destruction. Conservation efforts focus on habitat preservation and captive breeding programs.
Fun Fact
The Burmese Brown Mountain Tortoise is one of the few tortoises that have a more arboreal lifestyle, meaning they sometimes climb over logs and vegetation to access food and shelter, a behavior not commonly observed in other tortoise species. Their slow movement and shy nature make them a peaceful, yet fascinating species to observe.

Excellent dress shirt for the summertime!
Size: X-Large, Color: Navy Blue, Size: X-Large, Color: Navy Blue
This has rapidly become one of my top shirts to wear during the summertime, and it isn’t even summertime yet! Got this shirt in the other day and this shirt just checks all the boxes for me. It is comfortable in fact that it’s very comfortable. The material is not dry fit but it is not a material that will make you sweat the way cotton would make you sweat.. the fit is spot on, and it just happens to be one of those shirts (we all have shirts like this) where it is one of the go two shirts that you grab when you wanna look nice, yet you wanna be comfortable.
Another thing I like about this shirt is the collar it doesn’t stick out too far and it just seems to fit in place the right way. Some collar on some shirts rest too far outside of your neck and some hug along your neck line, this shirt does neither of the two, it just fits perfectly. The material is very breathable allowing this shirt to be worn in any nice weather climate whether that is warm, hot, or that very sticky humid hot..
Another great thing to point out is I have washed it twice already and it keeps its nice clean look to it and I have not really had to go crazy with the ironing. For the price I think it is aAnother great thing to point out is I have washed it twice already and it keeps it’s nice clean look to it and I have not really had to go crazy with the ironing. For the price I think it is a steal of a deal, yeah I wish I had a closet full of these shirts with other colors.

Great watch
Color: Green
This watch is two times the price of the he casino watch but it is so much better. The indigo dial lights up completely from all angles. It is easy to read even in 0 light. Much more durable and runs on 1 battery instead of 2 batteries in the Casio. Can’t go wrong with this watch!!!

First watch was defective, Replacement is great
Color: Green
It says indiglo on the watch face but there is no illumination what so ever. Totally useless in the dark. I exchanged it for a new one and it is perfect. Just what I expected. I can't speak to its accuracy yet, but it looks and feels great. The bezel doesn't move if that is important to anyone, but I don't think anyone is taking this scuba diving.

Worth it
Color: Orange
Excellent for the price. The indiglo is highly visible as a backlight. It's simple and no frills. The band is better than I expected. I gave it 4 stars because it's only water resistant to 100m or 10ATM and the adjustment/indiglo button isn't flush with the case. Overall Excellent choice for an outdoors watch.
