Testudo marginata:
Care: not as easy as hermanns
Size: largest mediteranean tortoise: max.size: 35cm SCL.
African spurred (up to 80cm+) should are totally different in
every way (except that both are tortoise!)
T.marginata habitat: stony,hill area with high Maccia ( Mediteranean Gras,Shrubs etc.)
hibernates from October to February. Warm summers, cool winters.
G.sulcata (afican spurred): Desert like to savanah areas. hot summer, warm winters.
If you understand german, i can recomend dozens of good sites telling you everything (also on the subspecies)
on this species.
I keep and breed this species since many years.
