I have had my 1.3 Greeks for 5 yrs and my 1.1 Russians for 3 . I fed mazuri once in a while from year 2. I had good luck with maintaining them but didn't see any real growth and no eggs at all. This year I made a change and started to give it to them twice a week or more. I cut back on the greens. My oldest female Greek has shown good growth this year. She also laid her first egg(still cooking). My Russian female had shown no growth at all until this year. Her growth rings are 1/4 inch or better.

They are all maintained indoors. I use Zoomed 5.0 lights and inc spot lights and ceramic heat emmiters. I don't have humid hides, but they are in my basement which is humid.

BTW they are all WC.

Oh did I say that I am sold on Mazuri. My 5ft green Iggy loves it!!!! She will come running to me to get it.

My photos are 2yrs old. I need to upload some new ones.
