      I paid £100 pound for my 2 year old horsfield tortoise called Eva (cute little guy) and £120 for my 3 year old other horsfield called Rosie.

      Hosfield tortoises are the only species of tortoise that you can legally buy in the UK because the others are protected.

      Tortoises are a really good pet! lots of character and quite tough but remember they will live for 50 years or over.

      No idea, turtles are so rare that I wouldn’t want one as a pet.
