What type of Tortoise are these - are these healthy?

Ive been interested in getting tortoises for a while, and largely looked into getting horsfields, but i've been offered a par of African hinge back tortoises.

I know there are several types under that particular type of tortoise and i was wondering if anyone could give me more care info on them. I've done research but i would like species specific info. i know they're omniverous but unsure of temperature needs etc.

Also, can anyone inform me whether these look healthy and possibly what type? im told they are 7 and 8 years old and that one is male and one is female. The female is the larger one and she says she always put them under the window, open it when its warm and they go outside. They have a ceramic heat bulb. i do know they need UVB though.
