Cool ill let them know

The larger one was caught humping and chasing the smaller lol, plus the little one flashes a lot! haha! They thought both males but i thought girls so ill give them a bell now and let them know

Also, as u can see in the pic, the second one (smaller) has a very small nail on the end of its tail, which is breaking off :/ is this normal?

Yeah, apparently

Well the larger is 2007 and the little one is 2009. Both from the same shop as very small hatchlings.

They did say they will be selling for the price they paid for them, once theyve done paperwork and microchipping. The price was £180 per tortoise.

They paid £180 each for them without them chipped. That was a lot
