The Mederterainien Dwarf Palm could be considered as an enclosure favorite for Greek keepers, according to recent research showing an apparent connection to the plant in studies conducted on a wild group in South-Western Spain.
"Amenities between the presence of tortoises and site vegetation structure
were developed by a superposition of the two layers (fig 3). There is a close relationship between the distribution of tortoises and the presence of dwarf palm (Chamaerops humilis) in the study area. In fact, C. humilis is the ideal habitat for tortoises in this environment where it plays a dual role in thermoregulation and also for shelter."
The study showed that the tortoises spent 33% of their active time among the palms, 65% in the grasslands, and around 1.3% among the alder closer to the ocean, a more humid environment.
Mederterainien Dwarf Palm seeds are sold widely online, and I suspect one would find this fairly easily at a local nursery, though it may be chemically grown or treated.
