Hello
My name is Miguel Chavez and am Mexico City.
Since several years hece me and interested in Gopherus tortoises (I like them all, but my favorite genre is that). Of these which is longed always and G. Agassazii (california desert tortoise), recently to go to one of the few exotic pet stores in the city (www.aquilusreptiles.com) I find that this species had for sale and I bought one for $ 100 ($ 1,000 MNM).
the problem is that recently find pictures of baby Agassizii, what I found was that the colors were different to mine. Calves had light sand color, while mine is dark brown with yellow. which makes me think that it is G. but G. agassizii morafkai (Sonoran desert tortoise).
But you think? Gopherus agassizii or not?
regards
PS: I had a previously Gopherus berlandieri to (Texas tortoise).
