Looking at picking up one of these two Western Hermanns, first tort!

Hello all! First time tort owner soon, but keep an Australian Blue Tongue! I wanted feedback on these two, spoke to the breeder and they sound very knowledgeable and helpful. Thanks in advance!

Not sure how knowledgeable as they have some pretty good pyramiding going on.
I would ask for a video of them walking. Also if they are housed together then they are under stress.
Ask what their humidity is and what the diet consist of. How old are they and if they raised them from hatching.
Then give us the answers and we could let you know if they were taken care of properly.

A video of them walking is a great idea. With that pyramiding and those splayed legs I'd be curious about MBD.
They frankly don't look to good. At least from these 2 photographs

Try to get a video. Concerning with every pic the legs are splayed.

If they are kept together, ask for each tortoise's weight. go for the heavier one IF the video shows no ill signs
BEST OF LUCK! Hermanns are wonderful
