3 isn't to young to be flashing, and size relates more to enviromental issues and food than age.

I did mention in the first post, that i am sceptical about the tort being hatched in Germany, could have come from Slovenia to Germany, saying, quite easy. But i don't know if German import laws are similar to our's, country of origin box no.11, does say Germany.

Cites laws across the EU are supposed to be the same, but supposed to doesn't mean they are of course.

Didn't finish what you posted... probably, is the answer.

No Ed, i don't know the name of the exporter, was going to make some enquiries as the importer is local, might not get the answer's though.

Did your Marginated come from a pet shop, and has he been ok.

Hi, yes she was from pet shop and she has been fine, no worries (as yet!). Should there be anything I should look out for in particular because she was not bred in UK? Thanks

A poo sample taken to the vet's is a good thing, checked for worms and protozoa. Better if you have a vet practice, with someone up on reptiles.
