Hey, everyone! I just bought my daughter a tortie for her 11th birthday, and my daughter named it "Squirtle". I don't know the type, nor age, as the store (PetSmart) employees didn't know either. They wrote "Testudo Tortoise" on her (the PetSmart employee was able to give me this much) adoption papers, but when I googled it, I found out that Testudo means tortoise...So according to PetSmart, she's a "Tortoise Tortoise"? Fantastic, at least I know she's a tortoise tortoise, and not a monkey tortoise because those require special permits. If anyone can help me figure out these details, I would be very grateful Squirtle's shell is approximately 4-inches long, and you can see the markings on her shell.
Anyways, I came across this forum while googling what sort of plants are safe for her, and wound up reading other posts regarding tortie care. Everyone here seemed to be very helpful and friendly, so I decided to join...Hi!
