First point in relation to temp and humidity is interesting and I'll be looking further into that, but I tuned out after that... 1. Salcutas are certainly a desert species. They are found roaming both desert and grassland, which occur together. You're talking as if deserts and grasslands are...

Like many, I have had a lot of trouble finding pretty much any kind of detailed, in-depth, scientific research or documentation of Nabeuls in their wild habitat other than they reside in the semi-arid steppe area of Tunisia and across the northern region, stretching into Algeria. So, to gain...

Ah! I was looking in the completely wrong spot - my mistake! I completely see it now, the clear raised lip around the edges of the scutes that make the boundaries appear like deep grooves between each plate. I hadn't noticed that before, so thank you very much for making it clearer! What you...

No problem! It just confused me a little :) Oddly enough, looking back to the photos of when we very first got them, I noticed the same curling on the shell on the same Tort when he/she was much younger, but not the darker one. This got me wondering a few things and after spending some time on...

Brilliant, cheers for the knowledge! I'm sure that will deff come in handy at some point in the future. Yeah, it sucks but the breeders were an older couple who were both teachers as a full profession so my assumption is that I'll eventually get a reply in the near future when they aren't as...

Thanks for the reply. I wasn't aware of the vertical scute being an indentifying characteristic, but I'll be sure to bare that in mind for future reference and keep my eye on the shape as it develops. I had actually been using HermanniChris' site to help me narrow down the list to what fit the...

Hello, I was wondering if anybody could help me identify which subspecies of Greek I own? I purchased these two at the beginning of the year with all the appropriate certificates provided, however it simply states 'T. Graeca' with no subspecies declared. When talking with the breeders (a...

Hey. I can show you tomorrow as I'm currently running the nightshift so I'm not at home to get a photo, but to explain simply - We have a 22" 24w T5 Arcadia 12% desert lamp set up 20" from the top of their shells hanging overhead in the centre of the enclosure, running length ways as to ensure...

Hey there, thanks, back at you. Aye, we're currently using a large, 30 gallonish shallow storage container which we had laying around. It wasn't so much setting up the enclosure that cost a lot, all the equipment came to just shy of £220 so pretty cheap compared to most set ups. It was the...

Already read all the care guides, I've been on this site for the past 3 years gathering information so I'm fully aware that they shouldn't be housed together, however there isn't an option right now until I'm less limited on space in the storage room, so I can build a large enclosure that can be...

Will do - Any kind in particular or anything I should avoid?

Hey, all. First post here, but long time lurker (a year or two) for all that sweet, sweet infoknowledge in preparation. Well, the day finally came. On Feb 4th, my partner and I headed to a town nearby to meet up with a well known, reputable breeder here in my area of the UK, to purchase two...
