What type is my tortoise?
I recently purchased my tortoise - Dakota Lee and wasn't told what type he was. He/she is only 2- 3 years old and I've only had it 2 months or so.
Could anyone tell me, please? I've looked at photos and it looks like a Horsfield? Thank youuu |

It is nice seeing horsfields with nice smooth shells, the deformed look seems to be the norm
