Quite possibly a name change could be in order, Guy.
I'm sure Danny will be able to tell you for sure though.

I agree with Emma Rocky is a Hermanns, Testudo hermanni boettgeri and a female.

I am just so happy to have them really, spent all weekend converting my shed in to a tortoise paradise now has heating outside access temperature control climate, spent a fortune but well worth it, teddy and Vera are settling in fantastic eating better was a little concerned that Vera was not eating but she has started to now, will be a lot happier when I see her go poo!
Thank you Emma great to know people like you are available to help less knowledgeable and experienced people like me so thank you, no doubt you will be seeing a lot of threads from me in the weeks to come.

Please feel free to ask as many questions as you like, Guy. That's what the forum is for.
It sounds as if you've been busy this weekend. I'm sure Vera didn't eat initially because it was strange and unsettling for her coming to a new home but great news that she's tucking into her food now.
Lots of luck with them.
