Hi helpful people
I'm wondering if anyone can help me ID a tortoise I seem to have adopted from someone who desperately needed to find him a home!
His names Herbert and I'm thinking he's a spur thigh however I cannot be certain. I don't think he's in the best of shape and he's got problems with his jaw, he has a massive underbite but he's had no problems eating. He has spurs on his back leg. He also came in a wooden viv but tonight I've put him in a home made table for more room for him.
I already have a healthy and very active 3 year old hermann and I was told the new one was around 5 years old but is easily double the size of my baby hermann.
Any help identifying his species would be great so I can be certain I give him the right care.
Many thanks
