Hi Yes they do have a good sense of smell, but I also agree that they can see in colour - if I am in sandals in the summer and have red nail polish on, my torts will try and bite my toes, if I dont have nail polish, they ignore them!  They are also attracted to green items which are non food stuffs, so again have no attractive smell.
