thanks for the reply, i thought it was a hermanns, i am not woth the tortoise now but by the pics it looks like spurs on the legs, any idea abput h.h or h.b by the underside of the shell,
it is my girlfriends cousins, it was given her by the rspca about 6 years ago, she thinks it is about 10, he was about 9 inches long, i was only with it for 2 mins |

From what I could see form the pics it looks like it has thigh spurs and no tail spurs so my first thought would be spur thighed, but I cant see very well with the pics.
