Should I pick these?

Hello All , Well I finally have Tomatoes!!! My first ones ever and now the question is are they ready to be picked and brought in to finish ripening. I have never grown Tomatoes before so I am not sure what to do and am a very very nervous father

. The varieties I have to decide on right now are Tigerella and Purple Price. I thinkthe Tigerella is deffinetly ready to be picked and am worried if I leave it much longer the Squirrels ( who eat all my Hazelnuts ) will find the tomatoes like they found all the sunflowers last year. I usually dont mind them but if they ate my first tomato it would be tragic. So my question is do you think these tomatoes are ready to be brought in or should I hold off a little longer. The purple price doesnt look like the seed packet yet so I am not sure if thats ready or what an am hoping someone else is more familiar with it. Thank you!

Purple Price

Tigerella
