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.

real good
Format: Kindle
This was a solid read for the ABO universe. The characters are great. The smut scenes were well written. And the town is so cute I want to go there. It didn’t have much character development it just felt like I was getting to the characters as they were getting to know each other.

So sweet
Format: Kindle
It’s so unexpectedly sweet that it sneaks up on you. Each character is so unique and charming. I love the openness and honesty among their pack. It really blows me away how wonderful this omegaverse trope plays out.
I received a free copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review.

Needs editing
Format: Kindle
Cute storyline and promising characters, but the lack of editing is painful to read. I would love to read an edited version.

Fantastic writing and non-stop action
Format: Kindle
This is a promising, fantastic beginning to what will be a 4-book series. Some readers may be content to read only the first 2 books, but I think you'll find that the story is so good that you'll want to keep reading books 3 and 4.
Book 1 is about omega Elvana's introduction to the "Starling" brothers and their search for another missing person, Kelly. It's a bit of a rocky start, with deception and betrayal a key element. Hardly an auspicious beginning. Each member has their own path and purpose in the pack. Their interactions and the resulting narrative are so well-written that I found it difficult to put down.
There is a cliffhanger that will have you reaching for book 2 as you finish, so make sure you have it on hand.

Fun read
Format: Kindle
I'm not really into mafia books but I love Roxy Collin's other series so I decided to give it a try. It had the same great romance, spice, swoon-worthy characters and exciting plot that are her signature. Arben was my favorite, although it was a bit sudden how quickly he changed from ignoring her to wanting to be pack. There were almost too many twists/layers of lies to keep track of but I'm looking forward to reading the other books.
The only thing that detracted from the story for me was the need for a bit more proofreading. It was mentioned that Kelly is a female and male at different points, leading me to think she changed her mind at some point about the character's gender but didn't go back and edit it to align in all places. Like another reviewer pointed out, step siblings are different than half siblings. They are incorrectly referred to as step siblings because they (allegedly) share the same biological dad. There are a few other typos as well but those aren't a big deal.
