DescriptionGolden Greek Tortoise for sale (Testudo graeca sp.) is a relatively new contribution to herpetoculture. Before they became popular in the U.S. reptile market, the typical Greek tortoise accessible from importers was richly patterned, with a dark shell and skin. Depending on the place of origin, these ranged in size from 4 to 8 inches in straight line plastron length and, to a lesser extent, in shell form. However, to the typical tortoisekeeper, the various Middle Eastern breeds of Greek tortoises appeared to be rather similar.As a result, the surprising arrival of these practically solid-yellow tortoises in 2001 generated quite a commotion. Only the occasional and notoriously delicate Egyptian turtle (Testudo kleinmanni) looked comparable. The freshly imported golden tortoises were significantly larger, brightly colored, and less demanding in their care requirements than Egyptians. This increased their popularity in the pet market, and more imports swiftly followed. Golden Greek TortoiseWE HAVE GOLDEN GREEK TORTOISES FOR SALE.
