Somrone told me that impressa tortoises live at an altitude of 1500 or higher， and some of them will die because of high blood pressure or heart problem when they live in plain area. Is that true？
I just brought this pair of impressa tortoises. They are WC from Yunnan，China. The front legs of the female are injured，anyone has any suggestion to heal her？ Also，this is my first time keep impressa tortoises. I have heard that it is very hard to keep WC individuals，anyone who has experience...
Thank you Chris, but I am still a little confused.
Can you be a little more specific? Why is the purity important? What are some of the examples of questionable and unwanted tortoise specimens? I feel it should be fine since I am not creating any infertile hybrid. Also, if you don't mind...
well， to be honest， I didnt see why “make it difficult to identify” is a “significant” drawback. When a black married a white，their specific physical characteristics get "muddied" too, and I never heard people say this is a bad thing(other than racists). I know this is probably a bad example...
i would like to set a group of same subspecie too， but the adults are so hard to find. By the way， is there any significant drawback of cross breed different subspecies？
I am trying to set up a breeding group of Greek tortoises. I have 2 males and 3 females so far, and I need someone help me to identify them.
Here is a group pic of all 5
1.This one is from ACT, sold as a male Ibera greek. Looks pretty old, lol.
2.This one is sold me as a female unknown...
