Can you identify this tortoise?

A friend of mine babysat this guy and I was just wondering what kind it was.

That yellow head makes me think of a hingeback, a Forest or Homes, but I'm not sure -

 

[fluffypanda17]

My first thought was Russian

 

[Benjamin]

Pretty sure that is a elongate tortoise, indotestudo elongate. A very flat one at that.

Yellow margined box turtle my guess

 

[omgdoubletacos]

Thats a lot of different guesses. lol. I've never seen one like this around here. At least not in the reptile shop or on craigslist.

 

[TortsNTurtles]

Well I am guessing my guess is wrong lol

This is a tortoise that hasn't had good care, and is deformed. Without better pictures, guesses is all you're going to get. I think so far Benjamin has made the best guess.

 

[EricIvins]

A really deformed Elongated Tortoise...

 

[fluffypanda17]

Yeah I'd like to change my guess and hopefully regain some pride

LOL...I don't think any pride should have been lost...I mean, more so than ever I am looking with my old lady vision until I grab my spectacles that is.....lol

It's all good....

I agree with Eric and Benjamin.
