Thanks, we were really lucky with the sun that day so we filmed 3 videos to make the most of it. No sun since, so we are back to studio lights outside again.

My friend had a tortoise years ago, that was called speedy too, it used to go in other people's gardens all if the time he was well known for it! Its a shame you couldn't do a breeding programme, seeing Lorna lives them so much!

[@walkingtalkinggardeners]

Hi Lindsey, she does keep talking about it. However she is still trying to find someone who has some females of the right species. Assuming our plans work out, we will be creating a bigger project with the tortoises when we next move house. Kind regards, Simon

The African spur thighed tortoise is the only spur thighed tortoise in the world! The tortoise you have is a different species! 0:00

[@walkingtalkinggardeners]

Hi Josh, mmm the European spur thighed tortoise has definitely been described in western science. Unless you have evidence to the contrary?

[@josharvin6239]

[@walkingtalkinggardeners]

Yes, they are also commonly called greek tortoises amongst other common names.
