@MaNaAk such a beautiful Tortoise! And Thank You for sharing that with me. I will never make this mistake again. Now Spur Thighed and Spurred Tortoise are in my vocab.
I was taken by the color and pattern of the shell, very similar to our 85 year old Desert Tortoise Homer.

Thankyou @EppsDynasty!

I had another Spur-thighed Tortoise called Daisy and she was Jacky's partner for seventy-two years. Daisy had to be put to sleep in 2022 at the age of 80 but she had a special relationship with Jacky. Tortoises make such great pets and they are very good at mischief making. Jacky has an EEC pattern on her shell whereas Daisy ended up with a chip after she tried to visit the neighbours by burrowing under the fence 🤣🤣🐢🐢.

I am so sorry for your loss, I can't imagine your heartache ! !
We love torts and wish to have tortoises for as long as we can. That means learning as much as we can too. Thank You for sharing the picture, a special tortoise for sure!
