Hey!

I found 2 separate tortoises for sale and wandered what breed they are?

Thanks!

Are you wanting to know what sub-species the tortoises are?

they look like they need better homes... greeks?
long beaks, long toenails, look thin, and carrot diet?

I did notice their long beaks :/ I have agreed to rehome a friends tortoise but they live a while away and havnt got back to me yet so I'm keeping my eyes open. Out of curiosity how do tortoises keep their beaks short?

Cheers

To help keep their beaks short you can feed them on a flat rock or something a little rough let us know if you get them

They look like Hermanni to me...

They look like Hermanni to me...

*nods*

Gorgeous ones, too. Though I say the same about them all...

Hermann's, probably Eastern, and feeding them on a flat rock'll help keep their bills/nails at an appropriate length.

Excellent choice for a pet tortoise, IMABO the best (although some consider me to be slightly prejudiced in Testudo hermanni's favor... )

I agree with Maggie and Terry. They're definitely Hermann's, probably Easterns.
