Hi All,
As a child I had a mature Horsfield tortoise and always wanted a pet tortoise with my kids. I love them, but confess to being a novice.
Completely out of the blue and with no prior warning my farther-in-law bought his grandchildren a tortoise for Christmas.
He doesn’t know the species, but told me it is a large frowning variety. He bought it as a hatchling part way through 2020.
To me it looks like a Hermann’s, but I know they don’t grow big. Could it be a Marginated? Or a Sulcata?
I’ll attach some pictures.
I am obviously desperate to know, so I can read about it and care for it properly.
Happy new year and thank you
