You have an African Spurred Tortoise, known in the Latin nomenclature as Centochelys sulcata.Hey guys. I just acquired this Tortoise. Can someone tell me the correct species?. One person told me Russian and someone else told me African.
When the back of your tortoise looks like a WW II hand grenade instead of being smooth like a bowling ball, the tortoise is said to have pyramiding. In other words, when the centers of the scutes are raised up well above the plane of the rest of the shell, they are called "pyramided".
Ok where can I find this care sheet?
