Diamonbp- i will be on the outlook for her from now on.... I knew it wasn't an ornate. The spots threw me off! Lol

This is a pic of a gopher tortoise I saw less than a mile away from this beauty. It must be a turtle "hot spot".

Yes! You are right! I gave him my Hermanns tort. Small world! Lol

That's exactly what a couple of my friends said. Also, I was told that this coloring is not uncommon here in this part of Louisiana. I sure wish that I had a pic of his back claws.

Yes, I just googled it. Such a beautiful little boxie. I hope it makes lots of offspring!

What's a nelsoni nelsoni and where are they found?

Gorgeous!!!!!

Poor baby! So glad you found her.

I didn't get a look

A couple of my friends said a three-toed.

In Southeast Louisiana.... That would make sense then. Thanks!

Also, is it a male?

I moved this beauty out of the road a few weeks ago. I don't keep wild turtles, so of course I let it go. I love these pics, and was wondering if anyone could identify him/her for me. Thanks!

This is a better pic of him when he moved off the road.

I live in Washington Parish, the tip of the boot. We have them lots of them in Washington Parish. It is wooded but lots of red dirt and hills.

Just wanted to show y'all a picture of the second gopher tort I have seen in two weeks (on the road). They must really be moving.

Just wanted to update y'all..... It was a wild gopher tortoise... He was released into a federally protected gopher area, no roads near him.

This is definitely a gopher, and I want to do what is best for this little tort. Sorry, no relocation.

Getting in touch with them now! I just would like to see if anyone can identify in the meanwhile. Thanks everyone!
