Hi, new poster here! I'm unable to get a solid identification on what this lil dude is, all I can tell is that she is a female. I'm unable to bring her to the vet at the moment to have them look at her there, so I figured I could try here since it seems like this could help!
At the moment, myself and someone at one of the local pet shops believes she's a russian tortoise but we aren't sure since her shell doesn't quite match anything we've seen.
Here are some images of her that I got with some natural lighting on her walk today.
We currently have a 30x12x12 tank for her that we had previously since she is still rather small, only about four inches long. We have a decent sized hide she can move around in, alfalfa pellets for the ground, a heat lamp, a UV bulb (emits 5-10 uvb), calcium/vitamin supplement to put on food, and a large enough water bowl for her to place herself in. We aren't sure if her diet or anything would change depending on what she specifically is, so we stuck with the general guides. We have been feeding her mostly lettuce and kale with some celery leaves occasionally at the moment.
