5x expanded by Edward-Woodrow (talk). Self-nominated at 22:09, 11 October 2023 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/Balkan terrapin; consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.[reply]

General: Article is new enough and long enough
Policy: Article is sourced, neutral, and free of copyright problems
Hook: Hook has been verified by provided inline citation
Image: Image is freely licensed, used in the article, and clear at 100px.
QPQ: None required.

Overall: 5x expanded. You might consider adding more summary to the lead. And this is not a DYK fail, but you should consider MOS:SPELL09 Integers from zero to nine are to be spelled out in words. It is also conversion templates like 15 cm (5.9 in) - I see that you used one for 900 metres (3,000 ft). Myself I prefer the other image in the article because it shows more of the turtle. It appears that some websites (like this) have copied our article based on the Earwig score. Lightburst (talk) 19:47, 17 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
