Thank you all for your lovely comments.

She is beautiful but then I'm biased! I would love to get another but this is going to be near-on impossible!! I guess she'll remain single and friendless for a while

Just a little update on Tilly. She has been thriving since she arrived with me. She had a massive growth spurt after I changed from an Exo Terra bulb to Arcadia.

She has been living outside all summer, I only bring her in when the weather is terrible as I worry about her getting too damp.

She is now 18cm and weighs 1179grams (today). She has changed so much in size and colouring, gaining 358g since March! Do you still think she is a Golden? If she isn't, I'm considering hibernating this year, but that all depends on whether she is allowed to.

Any advice is greatly appreciated.

What a beauty indeed, she has grown beautifully, I wouldn't hibernate her as she is a golden greek, I have 3 goldens and won't be hibernating mine, would love to see a picture of her face x

lonelylayla · 17-08-2014, 04:52 PM

she is lovely

Like Bev, I have some Golden Greeks, they are definitely non hibernators! Although she has grown and looks a little darker, I would still go with terresteris - the doming of the carapace is fairly standard for these guys! Sure Bev and me are both extremely jealous

Too rite Lynne, I am very jealous she is a stunner, my boys would love her

I agree

She is still a Testudo graeca terrestris.
