Sure he's a russian? I'm no expert but doesn't seem so to me....

I used to see a lot of testudo graeca cyrenaica with an almost black carapace, similar to yours. Can they be cyrenaica @HermanniChris ?

Are you sure it is a male? Tail seems a bit short....

How cute. If you are interested in selling, i am willing to buy one! In case just private message me please.

Annette, i also live in malta and managed to hatch some greeks from the back garden. its always a pleasant surpise to find these cuties emerging from the soil! nonethess through experience i have learnt that until the climate gets damp, the hathclings thrive outdoors. then as soon as the...

Hi there. Nice kleinmenni you've got. Do you keep them in the garden all year round? What do you feed them?

hi there, i have raised some hatchlings. the secret to keep them alive in the first two years is to keep daily warm soaks, keep them eating everyday and keeping them inside with a uv lamp and ceramic heater during jan-june. its important to understand that hatchlings do not hibernate so you have...

What do you give them to eat? I am trying all the weeds i normally give to my graecas but they seem interested only in lettuce :(

wow what a shell?! what humidity r u keeping?

The Console Freak. I live in Malta too and have some Kleinmenni, like you have. Please do not breed them to a graeca. In Malta Kleinmennis are not so rare. so wait until an opportunity will arise to buy a female. Meanwhile you can work two separate tortoise tables big enough to cater for each of...

Definitely a greek. As it grows you will identify the sex and maybe the subspecies. there is lots of helpful information here of how to take care of your hatchling. it is important to soak it daily in warm water and feed green weeds daily. try to get a uv lamp and cermaic heater. aim to have a...

it is a testudo graeca ibera

check for a spur between thigh and tail. if there is a small spur, then its a greek. subspecies is difficult to tell when they are so small as juveniles of the various subspecies are very similar. we'll need photos of parents to be able to identify the sub species. good luck with raising your...

looks like my tunisians. sorry for the loss mate

wow thats a very nice shell! what r u doing to prevent pyramiding?

it seems only exo terra ship to my country. :( From the list in the link you reckon plant soil or jungle earth are good to be used as substrate to retain humidity? cheers

Hi there mate! thanks for your reply, however, they are all unavailable where i live. i thought maybe someone has used some of the exoterra products mentioned before..

I was told that i need to increase the humidity in my setup and int he greek forum i was suggested that maybe i need to change substrate. Currently i am using plain compost, sand and oyster shells for my greeks. where i live i cannot find topsoil or cococoir, so I went around the internet and...

So i did some research today and found a seller that can actually ship substrate. He sells exo terra products and does not have coco coir. the three items which are labelled as good to improve humidity are: forest bark, coco husk or jungle earth...Actually for coco husk, the label says it...

veggies was not the right word i should have used. Weeds is the right one. throughout this winter i fed them sowthistle, prickly sowthistle, dandelion, clover, prickly pear, lettuce (not iceberg), lamb's lettuce, grape leaves, mulberry leaves, hibiscus flowers and the komodo soft food three...
