species identification

Hi all, We’ve recently adopted two rescue tortoises, Fred and Sam. Initially, they seemed to get along fine Fred would occasionally head-butt Sam, but the interactions were brief and did not appear to be aggressive. We thought Sam was a female as she was docile and would burrow and dig. After...

Hey everyone, I’m looking for some identification advice. I’m not sure what species my tortoise is. I inherited him and i’m not sure of his backstory. I love him to absolute bits and I just want to know how best to care for him. Everywhere I seemed to look, I could only find the tortoises that...

Hello All, I'm after some advice please. I live in the Middle East and bought two tortoises from a pet shop, I was only going for one but the conditions they were being kept in were pretty poor. I got them home and they've got the run of the ground floor of the house with a heat lamp for...

Hello! We believe he is a male Greek? This is right? What species and gender is he? Thank you very much :)

Hiiii, I adopted a tortoise 5 months ago , but i can’t identify what species they are.

Hi everyone :) I am a pet sitter from Kent and I have been doing pop-ins on this tortoise for a couple of weeks now. The owner told me he is a rescue and they’re not sure what his breed is. I was hoping someone here may have some ideas so that we might better care for him. He doesn’t really...

I found a tortoise near where we are and I wanted to know what kind of tortoise it is? We found him and wanted to know if this tort is legal or not, we live in Nevada and he reminds me of a sulcata, but also a desert tortoise, but I could be wrong. Any feedback is appreciated!

This is my 2 year old tortoise and i have been really confused as to what species, I cant tell if shes a Tunisian, Egyptian, or Hermann's tortoise.

Hello all! I am currently poised to inherit my grandfather's tortoise and want to ensure that I know his species and proper care before I take him in. I have attached images below. Unfortunately I know very little about his care... all that I know is that the tortoise is, at the very least, 60...

I recently found this turtle in my yard so I did some research and discovered that it could either be a redfoot or yellowfoot tortoise. Can someone please tell me which one it is or if it’s a different kind?

A few months back I was looking to buy a tortoise, and I knew better than to buy from petco. I went to a reptile store a few hours away and found a tortoise being kept in horrible condition. The store employees didn’t know the age, or sex of the tortoise. They claimed it was a hingeback, but it...

Hallo, I would like to adopt a hingback, but I'm not sure what type it is. The person says it's a tanzanian hingeback, (perhaps zombensis?) It can be skepii or natalensis but I'm not sure? I heard @tortadise is good, so I'm hoping they could help?

Can you tell wich species is it?! Thankss?

Hi so I understand that a lot of the Speke's Hinge-back Tortoises that have been coming into the use lately are likely to be Bell's. My question is do these look like the same species or distinct species from each other?

In short, I need some help identifying the species of a turtle or tortoise I saw as a kid on some land I inherited in the far northwest corner of Kansas. It had a tall shell and slight fluted humps to clear its legs. The shell was solid dark olive green. It looked like a smaller turtle hiding...
