Very nice. However, species should never be mixed. New torts should be quarantined before added to the others and they should not be kept in pairs as one will bully the other too illness or death.

Beautiful animal! I have 3 males myself but much younger, They all happily live together in an enormous enclosure. Looking at the plants on your photo's we must live in a simular climate. Saw some in the wild while on holidays on mainland Greece a couple of weeks ago and they were almost entirely black!
