Hello!
So we rescued our sulcata, Taco, about 3 months ago from our local animal shelter. He has adjusted quite well and we are thoroughly enjoying the experience of keeping a pet tortoise. When we rescued him the animal shelter did not know his age or much about him at all except where he was found. They didn’t even know he was male- I figured that one out on my own. I am wondering if anybody could possibly ballpark an age for me and maybe let me know what these dark spots are at the top of his shell? He did have an appointment with a vet set up by the shelter but I don’t think the vet had too much experience with reptiles. It was just a general “is it healthy” type appt.
thank you in advance for any insight.
