Popular land tortoises in the home terrarium

Tortoises are fascinating animals that can be great companions for home breeding. However, before deciding to breed a tortoise, it is helpful to understand which species or varieties are best suited to living in small domestic spaces. Here are some species of land tortoises that are often suitable for breeding at home:
Greek tortoise (Testudo hermanni)

Moorish tortoise (Testudo graeca)

Rimmed turtle (Testudo marginata)

Steppe turtle (Agrionemys horsfieldii)

Radial tortoise (Astrochelys radiata)

It is worth remembering that terrapins need a suitable environment that provides them with warmth, UVB light and adequate humidity. It is also necessary to provide them with adequate space to move around. It is also always important to check that the breeding of such a species complies with the legislation in your location, as some species may be protected and banned from breeding. It is a good idea to consult a reptile vet or an expert in turtle husbandry before breeding a turtle.
