Hello All!! My husband brought home an adorable tort he was given by an acquaintance who "couldn't keep it". They said it was a Sulcata. We have been doing all this set up and research the kiddos are all excited, but I'm worried its not a Sulcata after all. We're in Florida so Gophers are prevalent and I don't want to break the law with what should be a wild animal.
The thing is, with all the research I can't pinpoint for sure one way or the other. It seems to have so many Sulcata traits, with the shell and attitude etc, but y'all know how similar Gopher babies can be. I'm going crazy over here. There are no exotic vets in our area, or remotely close, so I can't just run it up to the vet. Can anyone look at my not so great cell phone pics and help me out before my head explodes?
