They are on coco tourb and sphagnium with 70% hygro.
Tempered a 28°C and 31°C on hot spot. Regulate at 20°C on night.
And the UV source is 5.0 tube.
They male is very curious and active, but the female is a little bit more shy but the 2 move regulary and have a good appetite.
The male weight 495gr and the female 290gr
If you have question ....

They look good. These guys love to hide. I use pothos plants in their enclosure for food and they like to hidr under them.

Wow!! Young and beautiful tortoises! I love the freshness on their faces.
You must have raised them very well. All elongated tortoises I've met before are WC so I'm really amazed at how good your three-year-olds can do.

Thanks i do my best for them.
I have them since 1 month only. They are captive born in germany.
I had them by a german very competent breeder called Christoph FRITZ
Here is his website http://www.reptilia24.com/
And after my experience this is one of the only person that I trust for the quality of his animals and his serious.
It's really a great specie and the yellow of their head become more and more intensive :D
