Nice pictures
Is it unusual for Testudo marginata to lay that often in 6 weeks?

Nice bowsprit. I'm curious, I have one here in cape town. I'd heard they don't do well away from their usual stomping ground. Have you found that they cope?
Ned certainly seems to prefer his indigenous plants in the garden to almost anything I try and give him

Thanks everyone. Plenty more pics on our site www.gardenstatetortoise.com including more of the wood turtles and even Blanding's turtles out and about on January 27th.

As for the Chersina, I have found that they cope well if they are very long term 4 years and over, or if they are captive bred.
