Testudo graeca cyrenaica...

Malwa85 · 10-01-2011, 06:50 PM

Hi guy's, we rehomed what we think is a Testudo graeca cyrenaica today, a female around 30 yrs old . Just wondering if that's what we actually have. I was also wondering if is ok to mix them with T.g.marokkensis, as I doubt that I'll find a companion for her in Ireland.

Thanks guys , she's a beauty alright. She was brought to Ireland 30 yrs ago and I took her and 2 Hermanns in as rehomers.At the moment she is housed by herself but I was just wondering if is ok to mix her with my moroccans?.

You absolutely have a Libyan spur-thigh, Testudo graeca cyrenaica. No I'm afraid you shouldn't put her in with your Moroccans.
