Just picked this adorable guy up to add to my small collection of shelled buddies, I just want to make sure i got the correct info so I can care for her properly..
I was told 5 year old female Mediterranean spur thigh.
So when i google that i get Greek Tortoise but she looks allot darker that the pictures i see..

any input is appreciated!

Thanks a bunch,
Heidi :)

Thanks for the info, That is what i guessed because of the long tail. I have experience with other tortoises.

The owner though female because it would back up and wiggle the rear at you lol

( my adult female sulcata does this to our male)

If I was to get a female for him, where would i find one? I see lots of ads but I don't think they are the same species. and usually what is breeding age/ size?

Lastly is there a good informative book or website you would suggest? I am not finding allot of advanced information on these guys, just lost of the basics ..

Thanks a bunch,
Heidi :)
