nice photo of a nice tortoise. I'd be curious to see what the experts say. The new growth looks exceptional. Do you know what it was fed? If I was to venture a guess I'd say T.h. ssp.

I informed her that her previous enclosure was incorrect (exo terra glass viv) and it was changed to a table about 4 years ago. she still fed it dry food and fruit despite me pointing her in the right direction......

Goes to show you what you think the 'right' direction is. That is one good looking tortoise.
