I agree with Maro2Bear. A 15 to 20min soak in warm water will do the world of good to your little one. Good luck with the little guy.I'm trying to find out what type of tortoise I have. Can anyone help me please. I don't know if I am doing this right, if not I am sorry.
No actually I took them from my boyfriends friend who left this one and another one in a box in his back yard and forgot about them for a little over a week. And he got them from newspaper and didn't find out anything about them. I have a African spurred tortoise a little bigger then them and they are different. They kinda look like a Mohave desert by looking at pictures. But I have idea. And I like to know the Dos and don'ts so I don't hurt them .Greetings and Welcome to the Forum!
I’m sure one of our experts will soon be along to positively ID your young tort.
If you haven’t done this yet, you could give it a 15-20 minute soak in a small Tupperware container, in nice warm, not hot water.
- So, was this guy found locally in your Arizona garden, back yard, etc?

Good luck.
