Smile tortoise identification

Hi Folks,

Please be gentle with me as its my first time.

I have two tortoises, a horsfield and a hermanns. I would love to know what sex they are and what sub species the hermanns is from. I have tried to work out how to attach photos bt with little success.

If anyone can help me on any of these issues i would be very grateful. if i cant work out the photo uploading i could email photos if that helps.

the horsefield is around 5 years old and the hermanns is 3 1/2.

Thank you

That's fantastic Danny, thanks for that. Are you able to tell what type of sub species the Hermann is from?

Cheers
