Hi everyone.
I am new to the tortoise keeping world and was wondering if you all could help. Tortoises have always been my favorite animal and I have always wanted one. My wife and I were at a big box pet store the other night and saw a tortoise for sale. Now normally I don't buy from big box stores but he was adorable and looked so sad in his little enclosure so we decided to buy him to give him a better life. We were told he was a Hermanns Tortoise and was around a year old. I took what the guy said with a grain of salt but was wondering if anyone could confirm his breed and possible age? His shell is about 5.5 inches long. I don't have his weight. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
