Hello! In this thread i'll be posting my progress in breeding my Greek tortoises (Testudo Graeca Ibera). I got them from Chris Leone about A month ago. I dont expect any breeding this year since I barely got them, but if i do see any breeding behaviour i'll most likely post it! Wish me luck! This thread was inspired by @KevinGG

Look who's up early! Whenever the sun starts to warm up the rocks inside thier cave, it triggers them to get up and bask!Screen Shot 2017-05-18 at 10.59.51 PM.png
IMG_0968.JPG I havent noticed any breeding behaviour yet.. So far its been in the mid 70ºF's
The little tortoise in the back is the Male, and the other two are females.( BTW I ordered these as proven breeders from Chris Leone. He said that these tortoises have bred and laid eggs for him.)

Todays Meal: Hibiscus leaves, kale, redleaf lettuce, Bermuda grass, Zucchini leaves, Pansies, Geranium flowers, Dandelion leaves, Weeds, and young Olive leaves.IMG_0973.JPG Below are some Pic's of the tortoises enjoying the meal!

@Kaliman1962 The biggest one I have is about 7 Inches, and the smallest one out of the breeding group (Male) is about 5.2 inches. I purchased these guys from Chris L. I also have one that I got from Kenan Harkin (Kamp Kenan on YouTube) he's going to be 3 years old next month!
here's a quick photo:
