I'm not an expert but that looks like a 1-2 year old hermann tort, nice one too!

Again, just guessing, but I would say the other two are either Greek or sulcata, I would guess sully.

Two SULCATA for sure. The other possible Hermann
Either way, they should all be in their own seperate enclosures, yes, even the two sulcatas

Looks like you have a Greek, Testudo graeca, and a sulcata, Geochelone sulcata.

They are both being raised too dry.

They each have very different environmental needs too.

Tortoises should not be housed in pairs.

And species should never be mixed, share enclosures or have any contact.


Here is some sulcata info for you:

I don't have any specific Greek info, but care for all the common Testudo species is pretty similar.

Hello, there, and a very warm welcome to Tortoise Forum.
Different species should never be mixed to avoid cross-contamination of pathogens.
Even when they are in separate enclosures it's a good idea to wash hands and change shoes before moving from one enclosure to another.

A very warm welcome to the forum.

Sorry-can't help you: am no expert.

But whatever their species, they are adorable little torts. GOD bless.

I only see two tortoises.

A light brown one (same one present in both photos)...and the yellow and black one.

Where is the third tortoise/species?
