Viktoria, do many people in Poland keep tortoises?

Yeah, she is total beauty ... :) Now she is sleeping, so i miss her and I can't wait for the spring... :)

Ozric_Jonathan, thanks for intrest. Yes, we have a lot of torts in Poland, aspecially t.horsfieldis. Sadly we have also a lot of books about torts where is info that torts should lives on the flor and eats salad and chees - people belives it. I am activ in group of people who takes care about neglected, homeless tortoises. I gives them temporary home and I am loking new, good houses for them. In 90' years we had a lot cheep tortoises in zoo-stores, people were thinking that torts are no-problem pets....so almost everybody had tort... some of them are alived till now - the stronger ones :)
And of course it is still comon to bring tortoise as a souvenir from holidays... :( I saw many beautiful reptiles dying because of stupid people...
I'm sorry that my English is not perfect, i hope you understand what i'm writting... :)

Wow, she's beautiful, amazing shell. Lovely photos

I can understand you very well, well done for the great work you do.

Thanks Viktoria. It's good to know that some people are trying to help the tortoises there in Poland.

We have a lot of the same problems here in the UK. In a way I can understand how that can happen in Poland but really we have no excuse for it here in the UK.

I have been to Poland a couple of times, a lovely country in so many ways. And your summer weather is so much better for tortoise lovers than what we get here!

Oh what a beautiful tortoise you have, love the picture of her looking out over the grass, simple beautiful x
