We currently have a leopard tortoise, so when a friend heard of a friend of a relative who ended up with a tortoise they did not want to keep, they thought of us to take him (I think) in. Our new friend arrived today, and I'm a little stumped about what kind of tortoise he is. So, I'm hoping some of the more experienced people here can help identify him so that I can be sure to provide the right food and habitat.
We were told that this tortoise is 4 or 5 years old, although this may not be accurate as the tortoise and the information has apparently changed hands several times. We were told he was originally acquired as a pet for an elementary school class, but we don't know anything about where or from whom he might have been purchased. As you can see from the photo, his carapace is about 6 inches long.
