Are there different kinds of horsfield I was a little worried when I got my new one she is beautiful but looks nothing like my other 3 are they all ok together as I want to breed them. Is is a care thing how they have been bread or a species thing? Elvis Ollie and Adel are all from pet shops but the lovely Priscilla is from the tortoise lady :0) she is a beautiful tortoise.

Sorry to hijack thread is interesting how they look so different

Rings a bell that there are three different kinds. See this thread for more info:

Thanks for that really interesting stuff. Looks like there are no problems them breeding in the future then that's good Elvis does seem to love his Priscilla so would be sad to separate them, they sometimes just sit together looking at each other's faces is quite sweet really. He does not seem to be bothering her and pestering any of the others he does try doing his thing sometimes but they don't seem overly fussed lol
