Hi there, I hope you have been making the most of a great tortoise week...warm, plenty of sun, weeds growing you watch them, and longer evenings.

I have just found a site which should help with identifying your tortoise, so include a link:  http://www.chelonia.org/testudo_gallery.htm 

If you come across sites or papers about tortoises in the wild, please post a link, it will help us all to provide optimum conditions for our captive torts.

Regards, David nr York.

Hi David
This is an area that is so difficult, there are so many sub species and more being found, the only way to become an expert is field work and lots of study, which I would love to do but atlas work gets in the way!!
Thanks for the link, I will have a good study
Jane
Thanks for that
