Hi Veronica! Bit of a long story with these two.....they were rescued from an unscrupulous pet shop in the UK a few years ago by a friend of ours.
He reckoned Terry hadn't had the right diet or enough sunlight for his shell to develop properly in his formative years.
He'd looked after them well for the past few years but with all the other animals he's got, and the time they take up, he let my youngest boy have them as he was quite taken with them.
I'll get a close up shot of the big one later.....apparently she's some rare Asian breed. Maybe you can clearly identify her.....very old apparently.
