I was just told that this guy might be a sulcata. What do you all think? These are the only pix I have so far...

He's not a Sulcata. Was he found or are you looking at acquiring him? Are you in California?

Yes, in CA. A friend is giving him to me because her family is moving out of state. I hope he is a CDT, but I'll love and care properly for him no matter what kind he is. We are in the process of building a 20 ft x 30 ft outdoor enclosure.

Oh my gosh, just saw your location...his name is Kenai, given by current owner!! [emoji3]
He looks like a CDT to me but I don't want to tell you false information but I know @Yvonne G will know.
You're kidding me?! That's insane! I wonder how he got his name...Kenai is a beautiful place! It is tough raising a tortoise here but we are transitioning to Texas in just over a month!

There is a kids' story about 2 bears, Koda and Kenai. Obviously children named the 2 torts!

Yes, I know. They are still at their previous owner's home. I will be separating them when they come to me. Actually, I will probably be giving one back to his former owner, who had him for 7 of his 30 years. This little one is the one I am keeping.

I've been reading all the info on here, including beginner mistakes. Learning so much! I never knew a tortoise required so much care! I'm looking forward to getting him, as soon as his enclosure is finished.
The name Kenai. What are the chances? What a coincidence!
