MEDITERRANEAN TORTOISES:

TURTLE and TORTOISE PRESERVATION GROUP

TURTLES OF THE WORLD Series
Testudinidae Number 13

The tortoises of the Mediterranean and Eurasia include the Greek tortoises, Hermann's tortoises, Marginated tortoises, Central Asian or Russian tortoises, and Egyptian tortoises. Mediterranean tortoises have a long history in the pet trade and have been exported to the United States for many years. They have also been kept in backyards throughout Europe, and in many cases are the only family pets. Thankfully, they are now bred in captivity in ever-increasing numbers

In this book, top tortoise breeder Jerry Fife provides information from his many years of keeping and breeding Mediterranean tortoises. This book presents the lives in nature, captive care, and breeding of each of these tortoise groups which collectively are referred to as Mediterranean tortoises. His information will help hobbyists to be successful in maintaining their tortoises and, most importantly, to encourage captive breeding and the proper care of young tortoises.
