Hello all!

I am currently poised to inherit my grandfather's tortoise and want to ensure that I know his species and proper care before I take him in. I have attached images below. Unfortunately I know very little about his care... all that I know is that the tortoise is, at the very least, 60 years old (most likely much older). If anyone could help me identify his species, that would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Here is the care info for DTs. Most of what you find with "research" will be old and wrong.

Hello @lizardmittens and welcome! How wonderful for you and your family that your grandfather's tortoise can be passed to the next generation! It's like a living heirloom. Thank you for checking here to get information on his care etc. You've come to the best place for that. Best wishes as you embark on this leg of the journey.
