Tortoise-world Forum

It appears I have forgotten whether I have THBs or THHs. Can anyone confirm?
Here are the latest pictures from a couple of weeks ago.

In other news, I found out that there is a Tortoise sanctuary in the town next to me (5 minute drive), and I think I am going to give them a visit over the next few months to get a 3rd Tortoise.

well i'm quite crap at sub-species id but i have to say that they are like my thb's, a shot of the plastron would be good but even then i wouldn't be much help :rolleye:

so you live near Ann? your not far away from Kay (Sky) i have some of her tortoises here looking after through the hibernation period
she will be re-homing a lot of hermann's and horsefields shortly but they will definately have to go somewhere where there are no more tortoises because they were tested positive for herpes

Yeah, Kay is about 25 minute drive from me; and I have no idea who Ann is, apart from the fact she is the chair (reference: Sanctuary site).
I had no idea Tortoises were able to catch Herpes! :o

yeah she was barrier nursing them most of last year but i think they're ready for new homes now, they will go to new tortoise keepers as they will always have the virus (i think)
Ann runs the sanctuary from her home, she has an OBE for the work she's done with tortoises
