Hi Folks

I am a new tortoise keeper,

today I collected my youngsters. I was told by the breeder that they are Horsfield Tortoise. Exited is not the word to describe as I have waited a few months while I have been researching and doing my homework. Anyway any ideas and a positive identification of their type would be appreciated.

My name is Russ and I live in a small village in Northamptonshire UK.
