| Abstract |
|
Testudinidae Geochelone platynota We provide here an introduction to the currently much discussed situation of G. platynota in Myanmar and to the species natural habitats. The conditions for raising and breeding the species outdoors and indoors in southwest California are described, together with some specific references to the conditions used for maintaining this species in Europe. We pay special attention to food, to observed temperature requirements and those provided, as well as to differences in mating behaviour and in circadian patterns of activity observed between the so called fan-shaped form" and narrow-striped form". In addition we discus how these observations, together with geographical information from their natural habitats, can be used to adapt adequate conditions for their captive management.
