Tortoise Identification

[DonnaT]

Hello, I was hoping to identify what kind of tortoise this is? We recently moved into a home in Southern New Mexico that came with a very friendly tortoise. We feed her greens and fill up her water. She seems very happy and comes out to see us when we go outside.

Box turtle?

Terrapene ornata ornata, but very similar-looking to the Florida box turtle.

How do you tell the difference between that turtle and a desert box turtle? Just curious

Thank you!
