Hi everyone,

I wanted to ask how this Testudo graeca ibera looks to you?
According to the ad, she is 5 years old and only lived inside.
I asked them what lighting and diet they used, her enclosure
is a bit bleak.

I am also not sure if the hind leg thats showing is not too weak
Thanks.

She looks fine, defintely has been kept indoors based on the color/contrast and growth, but looks like she has been raised well, no pyramiding or obvious accelerated growth. The enclosure is a bit small but not bad other than that. As far as it being "bleak", tortoises need space, not decorations.

Thank you. The smooth growth caught my eye, but I wanted an opinion from someone with more experience. Would she be more light if she was outside?
I am sorry for the misunderstanding, I did not mean decoration but stuff like foodplants and hides (though the hay is prob both) and water

Seriously, I miss it so much. Most of my free time I have been researching on breeders, products, distributors, husbandry and species that make sense to have here.
There are a lot of Thb, Tm and Greeks here and I think it would be best to
give an older one a new home.

The owner got back to me and said that its a boy
Apparently he is around 16cm (6"?) and was sometimes outside in the summer. The lamp in the inside enclosure is a heat lamp. Hope they come back to me about the diet.
Is the size okay for a 5 year old Greek?

Smart move looking for a tort that can be easily managed where you are.

Let us know when you get one!! "Bruce" and "Hal" send their love!

I'll let greek owners chime in about his size.
