Hi everyone,
I am new to this forum and new to being a tortoise owner.
We recently inherited this tortoise originally called Terrence and were told he was most likely a Horsfield. This cute and curious little guy soon became my little obsession, and after reading into it, I actually think he is a Hermann's Dalmation tortoise. Any suggestions and advice welcome!
He was a rescue so we aren't sure how old he is, family are saying about 10. He is definitely a cheeky boy because he exposed himself to me once which frankly, I found quite intimidating. We are very much enjoying having him as he is way more interactive and interesting than we expected. He has never been hibernated to our knowledge so I am planning a vet trip and hibernating him next Autumn. This forum has been very helpful and enjoyable to browse through so I am happy to join.
Thanks and greetings from basking Terry from London!
