good morning, my sons grandfather gave him a tortoise yesterday, she came with zero care instructions or clarity on what type of tortoise she is, which I know is important to know. I am very keen to look after her properly and give her a healthy and happy life. So I wondered if you any of you kind people who really know about tortoises could help me work out what breed she is? I have attached pictures. I guess this is the first step I need to understand how to take care of her properly. I soaked her this morning in a little warm bath as from my research this makes all tortoises happy. But I wondered am I doing it right by just adding a small amount of warm water and letting her walk around in it for 30 mins in the morning? We live in lisbon, the climate isn’t too cold! Any other tips on how to look after her properly for her specific breed etc would be so appreciated . Thank you from a worried new tortoise mom!!!
