Un-Specified Tortoise

Hello I recently was given a small tortoise around 7-9 inches and I cant figure out the species it is... I have looked everywhere but I cant make up my mind. Here are some pictures of him/her. (NOT THE BEST)

Not a very clear photo, but Arizona desert tortoise seems likely,

Hmmm here is a better one.

Gilbert Arizona (hot and dry) btw It was a pet it isnt a wild animal.

If you use the Forum's way to post pictures it works better. At the bottom of the post click on "Upload a File" then follow the directions from there.

To me it looks like it may be a Texas tortoise (Gopherus berlandieri). But it's hard to tell from those pictures. Can I please see the underside of the tortoise?

I have 1.4 Texas tortoises. Some of them have a nuchal scute and some of them don't.

Yes i would be glad to take someone under-belly pictures but he/she is sleeping in her burrow...ill be home around 4:30 (AZ TIME).....oh and i usually use the mobile app so i couldn't figure out how to upload a picture...thanks for your input anyways.

When you go to write a reply on the mobile app there's a camera and a picture icon on the bottom. You can use he camera button directly but if you already have the pics on your phone just use the photo button and go through your pics.

I actually find the iPhone app easier than the website. Sara's instructions are good

I agree, Texas Tortoises are the only north American species where the sides are not parallel, but tend to expand (get wider) from head to tail. What is the length and/or weight? An image with a tape measure or ruler in it would do just fine.

There is a bottom picture.
