Day 37 of posting cute creatures we found on our field trip:

Hermann’s tortoise (Testudo hermanni) is one of the most common European tortoises. It’s adorable. They feed on plants and usually live in woodlands. This dumbass was found in a swamp and nobody knows what the heck he was doing there. We also found two more:

These tortoises are so cute, ain’t they?

EDIT: Protože je želva zelenavá (Testudo hermanni) v ČR tak populární, •TADY• je o nich užitečný článek, ve kterém se dozvíte, jak od sebe rozeznat jednotlivé poddruhy :)

Jen taková malá otázka

Jak starý a velký na délku je kompost?

Máme taky doma už tříletou želvu zelenavou a ona ne a ne přestává růst.

Želva zelenavá žije klidně aj přes 80 let, takže roste pomalu a dlouho, zhruba do 10 let věku. :) Pokud jsou té vaší tři roky, má ještě sedm let, než odhalí svou finální anime formu. Samičky navíc rostou mnohem víc, než samečci a finální velikost záleží i na tom, který je poddruh.

K tvé otázce: Teď jsou mu necelé dva roky, jeho krunýřek má asi okolo 8 cm a hoduje jak nezazděný. Tudíž ačkoliv je Dýdžej nejmenší poddruh želvy zelenavé, čekám, že za další dva roky budeme shánět větší terárko. :D ♥

smiling? Posing nicely for his photo debut?

That’s a tad out of character for Shellrond. Just a tad.

Before the pandemic, studying at the lab, thinking about my future projects, my dissertation, my PhD.... 

I miss the lab so much.

Some more great pet photography from my wife, this time of our rescue Hermann’s tortoise, Gus!

Found throughout southern Europe, Testudo hermanni have been a heavyweight champion in the reptile community for decades. Rarely growing larger than 7½ inches, it’s important to remember that these adorable tortoises are a long-term commitment — the oldest known specimen from the UK lived over 130 years! 🐢
