20170623_172050.jpg I found this tortoise in the La Sierra area of Riverside, CA not sure what species he is. Gave him bath. I'm actively looking for his owner. Hoping if I can figure out what kind he is it will help me identify his owner.

Yuukari hasn't been back since June when they first posted this thread. But there's just something a bit off about the picture. I don't think it's a desert tortoise. @Markw84 @HermanniChris ???

I didn't think it looked like a desert tortoise either. I was thinking more along the lines of a yellow foot but I don't know my turtles. If you wet it's shell so that we can see its coloration perhaps that would help even though there are people who are pretty positive it's a desert tortoise it would help me and others make that decision to...

It does sort of look like a sculpture, huh?
