Welcome, someone else with manouria emys.

WOW! You have a lot of tortoises and turtles!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Where do you keep them all?!?! It must be like a zoo at your place!

Yes, my home is like a small zoo;)
My parents are not so happy....but they are accustoming to this

So do you like the Hermanns the best, since you have the most of those?

No, Hermanns are not my favourite. I have 6 Hermanns for over 12 years. I took the others during the latest years.
My favourite tortoises are the exotics: pardalis, carbonaria, radiata, elegans and gigantea....but I haven't gigantea yet. Here the price is so much high. I will wait for;)
But I also love flavomarginata (they are really fantastic), Sacalia bealei, Staurotpys salvinii...
I dream to have (maybe one day I will have them) galbinifrons (here, in Italy, it's almost impossible to have them...and to find them), Callagur borneoensis, and all the Terrapene.

You have some big dreams, and I'm sure you will accomplish them as you seem very devoted!

We'd LOVE to see pics of your torts/turts! Many of those I haven't even heard of!!!

Welcome to the forum! That's a bunch of turtles and torts!

I'll be very happy to share with you my pictures and our experience

Welcome Davide, you will fit right in around here. Enjoy your stay.
