Hi Nicky
Where on earth are these advertised

these hugetortoises are one of the rarest Meditteranean tortoises seen in captivity there are but a few speciemens in captivity UK wise and very doubtful if any can be truely said to be zarundnyi with actually knowing the country they were collected, I'm at work at the moment but will put up some pictures of a huge female I now of.
They are basically identical to the same type known as testudo Ibera but huge and dark husbandry would be very must the same
