Hi everyone, I am interested in getting a couple of Star tortoises and I saw some young ones at a pet store but I noticed that they had a dull shell (in comparison to the pictures I see online that are very bright in colour) so I'm not sure if they are different breeds advertised as Star tortoises? Also I noticed that they are shorter in height or flatter (from the ground to the top of the shell). I also would like to know about the spikes or bumps on some tortoises shells, do they come with age or are they specific to some tortoises?
Kindly note that I'm comparing the ones I saw to the general online picture.
Thanks for the help.
