Whenever I post photos or even videos, I am usually showing a lot of the same stuff for example, Western, Eastern & Dalmatian Hermann's, Ibera Greeks, Marginateds, Wood turtles and Blanding's turtles etc...
So, this time, I'll change it up by sharing some shots of just a few of the other species we work with here.....
Geochelone platynota (Burmese star tortoise)
Assumed "Hypomelanistic" Testudo boettgeri (Eastern Hermann's)
By definition, he definitely has a "reduction in melanin" -he has yellow skin, head, tail, plastron and carapace with only minimal dark outlines on carapace.
Testudo anamurensis (Anamur Greek tortoise)
Possible Testudo weissingeri?? (Dwarf Marginated tortoise) Nesting
-Although this subspecies is not actually accepted, there is something different about some of these that we have here, such as, very small size (7-8"), slightly different structure and features and elongated eggs are laid instead of round eggs that are typical of T. marginata.
Centrochelys sulcata (African Spurred tortoise)
