Hello fellow tortoise keepers! I'm new to the forum so here I am introducing myself and my tortoise!
I'm from the south of England and until recently I had two mediterranean spur-thigh tortoises but now I only have one as they were fighting :-(
The one I have is nearly 4 years old and I've had him since I bred his parents at my old job. I saw him hatch! His name is Archimedes (Archie). He came out of the egg in a pyramid shape and has unfortunately suffered some shell deformity. It's odd but he's deformed and the other one I had didn't! They have always lived together so had the same lighting, food and calcium supplements yet one grew wrong and the other didn't!
