Just to be clear, could people please tell me which of these species do/do not hibernate.. I can see a major disaster coming and could do with knowing pretty damned urgently

The Tunisian and Leopard no hibernating. I personally wouldn't hibernate the T. g. graeca. If the Hermanns has good weight then yes they could hibernate him, but I suspect he doesn't.

I weighed and measured them all when I took the pictures, I wanted advice from people I can trust. Not their so called experts..
I'll try to get them all right.. ?Tunisian? (very small one!) 12.4cm 0.33kg preparing for hibernation... Leopard (obvious) 38cm 8.06kg not hibernating Hermanns (I think..) 17.5cm 0.91kg "leaving him a few weeks before preparing for hibernation" Tgg (I think.. red spot) 19cm 1.11kg same as above Tgg (I think.. white spot) 21.5cm 1.75kg preparing for hibernation with the little one Incase I've confused you as much as I've just confused myself.. All but the leopard will be prepared for hibernation before the Christmas break. Two are already being starved and bathed daily, the other two are being fed what you see above, with the leopard.. I think I'll be setting up a major meeting tomorrow... Is the diet for the Tunisian and the Tgg similar to hermanns? I already know the leopard isn't being fed well

Yes the diet for the 3 Greeks is the same as for the Hermanns.
The Tunisian should be 445g so he's light, to light and shouldn't be hibernated anyway. The Hermanns should be 1,025g so not bad, but and I'll get to that The smaller Greek male should be 1390g so he's light also. The larger Greek male should be 1,890g so not bad, and but also With the diet being that poor I'd worry about the 2 with not bad weight. They may be hanging onto urates and thats why they are that heavy. Danny
