Hi all! I'm new here and was hoping some of you could help me identify the breed of my lovely tortoise Macky. He's 27cm long which is making me think he's not a Green tortoise, even though he matches those pictures closest.
He's an old boy (we think around 70) and I've had him for twenty of those years. He's always been in good health, although I've noticed he sometimes snaps at his food and misses as if he's not seeing it now, and when he walks he'll take a step then bump down onto the floor before taking another. Do you think this is just ageing or can I do something to help? Thanks in advance for your expertise! Georgie
