Beatifull tortoises Grammo!
The enclosure looks like madagascar spiny forest! Especially for the plants!

How many specimens do you breed?



Bellissime tartarughe Grammo!
La parte esterna sembra la foresta spinosa del madagascar! Soprattutto per le piante!

Quanti esemplari allevi?

[grammo]

Beautiful tortoises and setup,once again.I tryed to build an enclosure like that,but mine destroy everything but walls.
Grammo,hopeing that you keep on posting about tortoises,if you agree I would like to translate your posts,so everyone in Italy can read and understand them.So if you find some lines in Italian,don't worry,it's just the translation.


Belleissime tartarughe e terrario,ancora una volta.Ho provato a costruire un terrario in quel modo,ma le mie distruggono tutto,eccetto le pareti.
Grammo,sperando che continui a postare,se sei d'accordo mi piacerebbe traddure i tuoi interventi,così chiunque può capirli.Quindi se trovi alcune righe in italiano non ti preoccupare,è solo la traduzione.

No problem Giacomo-PG

Yours destroy your enclosure? I bought this winter a lot of big plant to my enclosure so I hopes my tortoise can't destroy my plants
In this enclosure I have:
Alluaudia comosa
Alluaudia procera
Didierea trollii
Didierea madagascariensis
Operculicarya decaryi
Operculicarya pachypus
Commiphora sp
Cyphostemma laza
Cyphostemma elephantopus
Uncarina grandidieri
Kalanchoe beharensis
Kalanchoe arborescens
Pachypodium rosulatum
Cynodon dactylon.....


Nessun problema Giacomo-PG.
Le tue distruggono tutto?Quest'inverno ho comprato molte piante grandi per il terrario in modo da sperare che non riescano a distruggerle
(segue lista)

[Giacomo-PG]

You will tell me again when they will be 10kg..

Me lo saprai ridire quando saranno 10kg...

[grammo]

I think with big plant it's possible...

Penso che con piante grosse sia possibile

[Giacomo-PG]

How do you menage those plants in the outdoor enclosure?Do you take them off in Autumn?Or do they survive to the winter cold?


Come gestisci quelle piante nel recinto esterno?Le togli in autunno o restistono al freddo invernale?

[grammo]

This enclosure is in a glassroom and I put these plant during winter in my house at 10/15°C.
My tortoise are in this enclose at April to october after they're in a terrarium.



Questo recinto è in una stanza di vetro(serra?) e in inverno trasferisco le piante in casa a 10/15°C
Le mie tartarughe stanno in questa stanza da Aprile ad Ottobre
