These are some of my Texas tortoises:



In the middle picture, the dark one is captive bred. I think the big one may be a cross between agassizii and berlandieri. (These are the same three tortoises)

That post is incorrect in that, by definition, all Gopherus have nuchal scutes. I have never seen a berlandieri without a nuchal. Interesting that yours do not, @Yvonne G !



Although sometimes it is small.
