The female tortoise is basically larger than the male, the male has a thicker tail and a pitted plastron. As long as there are matching adults, mating and laying eggs is not difficult. Due to their small size, they lay between 6-8 eggs at a time. Incubate at 30°C for about 60-80 days. However, for the North African continent of the Tggraeca line group, the difficulty of raising and breeding is relatively high.

Because this type of European tortoise is more sensitive to the environment and partners, in The possibility of successful breeding in the artificial environment is relatively low. If the environmental humidity is a little higher, the symptoms of runny nose will appear, and the turtle is more timid, so it is not suitable for mixing with other turtle species. Therefore, when purchasing, it is best to first ask which region or group of European tortoises it is, and select individuals with similar body color patterns, which can effectively improve the success rate of reproduction.
