Well...my succession of wrong guesses in species identification continues...and i'm gonna stop replying to these questions as I don't want my advice on that question to lead to crappy care... ?I'd like to see more pictures, the head, the front legs. It's a little too round to be a desert tortoise, maybe Texas tort, but I'm leaning towards sulcata. Please wet the tortoise and take more pictures.

When they hatch out of the ground, or when they are left outside a lot, that is what they can look like.Tortoise after soak and light brush maybe now we can definitely say what species it is

Not sure, but I think it looks like a cailf, dessert,Hello I recently adopted this tortoise and I’m not sure if it’s a sulcata or California dessert. I would really appreciate the help in identifying it’s species so I can properly care for it. Thanks
