About 20 months ago I was given a female Testudo Graeca. Close to 8 inches SCL long, but felt light in the hand.
Under three pounds, refused to eat anything but salad. Age estimated at about 40 years, carapace a bit worn.
When she was set in the pen with the others (Testudo Marginata), she at once placed herself under the heating lamp, and in a few day began eating more than salad. The break came in may with fresh dandelions.
Now she is three and a half pound, 1600 Grams. Perhaps a sixth of an inch longer.Heavy as a brick. So far so good.
My question is:
Should I expect her to be fertile? Or has the "conveyor belt" of eggs forming in her stagnated?
Comments welcome
