The species of my abandoned tortoise?...

[Emma Clarke]

Good evening,
I have recently given home to a lovely little tortoise called George who was found abandoned outside a vets surgery. Would anyone be able to confirm what species of tortoise George is please so we can ensure he is cared for correctly?
Thank you
Emma

Awful nice critter for someone to just abandon.

Be sure to read up on proper care for these on this forum.

A Russian in good shape. Maybe had a ton of food access, looking at all the light green growth on the shell.
