hi can anyone help me?
just to let you know we are in uk, we have a tortoise that has been in our family for just over 50 years she was found in a shipping container in the early 50s and was taken home by my grandad. My mum has recently passed him to me as she feels the tortoise would be better off as i keep most reptiles{30 snakes various 10 lizards} but i'm not to clued up on tortoises.
she is very dark in colour and her total shell length is 36cm
she has always been kept the old fashioned way ie given free roam of the garden. put away at night, and hibernated during winter. i know this is not the recommended method of keeping as we dont exactly have a good climate
Could anyone tell me what breed she is and give me tips on how she should be kept
