Thank you all for your replies. Unfortunately, the current owner just informed us the tortoise passed away. :-( I appreciate your help. I think I will keep perusing these threads and may get a tortoise from another source in the future.

I am going to be getting a 30 year old desert tortoise from my husband's coworker next week. They are moving to Idaho so need a new home for it. It is currently hibernating so I feel sort of bad that it will be coming out of hibernation in a new home. Any tips for what to do when it comes out of...

Thank you so much! I will definitely ask questions.

Thank you everyone for your help. Now I know what species to look up for care information.

The owner said it was a desert tortoise but I had never seen such coloration so wanted to double check. Thanks!

I will see if I can get some more pictures and post them. Thanks!

Hello everyone. I am new here and to tortoises. I may be inheriting this 30 year old tortoise from an acquaintance and I am trying to figure out what species it is. Thank you for your help.
