wonderful trip to Corfu, but you wrote that he also found the Greek Testudo: a mistake?

Ehm yes first I thought it would be a hermanni, but the I checked his tail and his shield. And both seems like graeca. Maybe a pet?! It was near to a bigger village in an old oilveforest. :?:

Nice observations and pictures ;)
The Testudo on the pic is a hermanni for sure (markings on carapax, scales on front legs)!

Thank you Mario, you saw a lot of more hermannis than I did. So you should be right. I just saw a big difference between this guy and the other hermannis I saw there and his tail and the shieldform of him was quite different. So I will change it.

Already checked the pics on your website and really enjoyed them.

Especially the Telescopus picture where it coils up is really cool. I also like the Typhlops vermicularis, very "special" animals :lol:

Thank you Heiko. To get a good shot of Typhlops vermicularis was quite difficult.^^ Didn't thought it would be that fast. :lol:
