I have a group of 1 year old T. h.hermanni from Corsika.
I heard they should grow smaller than other hh.
Do anyone know the maturity size and weight and also expected size when fully adult?

I got them as an experiment in growth rates, and they do surprice me. Largest one past 110g in less than a year and carapex looks fine.

Best wishes

Hello, I have been reading this thread, but still find it difficult to be certain what sub species my shell is. I am guessing at a year old it is way to early to sex ( although I am inclined to think it is a girl)

Can anyone advise me?

Many thanks

Chelone, you have a Testudo hermanni boettgeri.

Soe, no, Corisica Thh get much larger than most other Thh. Up to 7.5 inches.
