Are you sure they are horsfields, might be worth doing a few more pictures top shell rear end front end bottom shell,

Hi, lovely tortoises. Mind me asking where you got them tho as I would say much older than 2 (unless of course they were cb and you are certain of their hatch date, in which case I'll just shush Lol!) from the photos they look like wc slow grown to me, maybe 5 years +? they are very beautiful tho- you must be pleased with them!

cheers

i got them from a guy im hampshire he told me they were captive breed and about 2 years old
they are only 100mm and 110 mm (long they might look big in the picture )

the trouble is as they dont need paperwork ill never know there true birth date but i hope they will be happy and healthy with us for a very long time to come

look at the size i would say a lot older than 2 very probably wild caught (its not your fault I have a 20 odd year old horsfield that I was told was 7 years and CB)

I have a captive bred tortoise that is coming up to 4 years old and she is half the size of yours

im not so worried about their age

im more worried about there sex as i dont want them fighting if they are two males

ibizathetort · 03-12-2010, 01:47 PM
