Sono tutte THB o cè anche qualche THH?
Raccontaci qualcosa di più, tipo da quanto le allevi, con quante hai iniziato, eventuali difficoltà avute nell'loro allevamento ecc!

Dear Sir,
the main problem of mine is poor Italian language of mine, and impossibility to explain everything well in your own language. Anyway, I will try to do it in english, hoping you will be able to understand it!
No, unfortunately, I am having zero of T. h. hermanni, and I am crazy in this species. I have got promisses from side of some breeders, to provide few heads of this subspecies to me, but till today nothing. All Hermann's of mine are T. h. boetgeri and T. h. hercegovinensis (less than 20 heads of second subspecies). Then, my T. h. boetgeri are predominantly of Serbian origine, with few heads originate from Macedonia, and few heads originate from Melnik (Bulgaria). And, of course, during year (excepting winter time), I am keeping them separately, evitate to make cross bred of them!
Best regards, Marco

Hello Marco
your turtles are wonderful but in the photos one looks at of the cocomero, if as you say that one is the winter shelter me seems po a season outside that fruit. I have mistaken?

---

A very keen remark. You are not in wrong. My eyes was captured only by the turtles, but actually there are a lot of watermelons in some pictures and it's very strange because we all know that it's a summer vegetable. Surely Marco will give us a good reason for this odd thing.

Acuta osservazione. Non sbagli. I miei occhi era attratti solo dalle tarta, ma ci sono realmente molti cocomeri in alcune foto ed e' molto strano perche' sappiamo tutti che e' un vegetale estivo. Certamente Marco ci dara' un'ottima ragione per questa stranezza.

Dear friend,
I already tried to make enough clear answer in this question. So, you can be satisfied, or cannot be, but it is the truth!
Yours faithfully, Marco

Non solo cocomeri, non sò se qualcuno lo ha notato, ma nelle 3° foto si vede molto chiaramente come 1 maschio (nella parte centrale della foto) cerca di accoppiarsi, cosa molto difficile a novembre soprattutto in paesi dove fa più freddo dell'Italia!

---

No, dear Sir, this male to not try to matte with the female (copulate). As I already wrote, my soon made mistake, to place big quantity of them in the same place, to make "better photo" of my breeding stock. They were only jammed temporary, and it is appearing maybe they would like to copulate!
Yours truly, Marco

Thanks for the explanation, in the supermarkets where I go to make the expense I have never seen the cocomeri in this period but I do not exclude that they can cultivate them.

Check for small Watermelons originate from Brazil (the same type of them, light green color are naturaly growing in Indian subcontinent), at weight between 3.00 - 3.50 kgs, and unuasual taste. In our DELTA maxi markets, they are selling at EUR 1.75/kgs!
Warmest regards, Marco

a mio modesto parere se qualcuno dice che normalmente durante l' anno tiene le tartarughe in quasi un ettaro di terra non vedo perche' lo si debba mettere in dubbio ; a volte mi sembra che si voglia fare polemiche a tutti i costi !! le domande dovrebbero essere poste in modo costruttivo !![:14][:14][:14]

Dear friend,

I tried to find some older photos of mine to show my spring/summer/autumn place of Tortoises. But, unfortunately, I found a few photos only. Anyway, I am attaching these photos now, to see at least part of my terrain!
Penso, che sti photo ho fatto a Settembre, ma non sono 100% sicuro!

Warmest regards, Marco

P.S. Check the photo of mixed Hermann's and Greek's (T. graeca ibera) carefully. You will see on this photo, the biggest "light" (high yellow, "leucistic") female of Hermann's (T. h. boetgeri). But, also, after one common Hermann's of mine, at end of photo, you can see, one subadult animal of Melnik (Bulgaria) origine, i.e. light animal, too, but not pure yellow as my high yellow ones. I am thinking, AlleeHali should have two animals of same type like this (i.e. Melnik origine)!

E con le foto delle marginata mi tocca ripulire il monitor dalla bava!
Comunque i non metto affatto in dubbio il fatto che le tenga bene; lui ha specificato chiaramente che le foto si riferiscono ad una situazione pre-letargo, infatti in una delle prime foto delle hermanni si vede che sono nella sabbia tutte mezze addormentate.
Complimenti!
P.S....Mario, se proprio ti avanzasse qualche marginata....il mio giardino è a disposizione!

[luca1988]

Anto mi sa tanto di si..Ma di che paese è?

Dear Sir,
I tried to explain about Watermelons available (cocomero), and I hope, I satisfied you.
The only problem on photos made by side of older son of mine is, becasue he wants to present big quantity of my Hermann's together. Actualy, I am having 8 small sleeping rooms for their winter hibernation, and each room is carrying up to 50 heads of adult, subadult and medium size animals inside.
So, before winter season arrival, I am transfering them into protected space, making their intention to come inside of rooms to sleep over there.
But, to make more impressive photos, my soon gave big quantity of them inside of one protected quarter (former aviaries of mine), to have big quantity of them on each photo available. So, he tried to have all breeding stock of 120 heads (around 100 females, plus around 20 males) together, and they appeared jamed/gathered.
I am sorry about it. My soon tried to do his best, but he made an mistake!
Yours truly, Marco
