My husband was given this tort and was told that it's a desert tortoise. I don't think so. What do you think?

My first thought was that it is a little female Texas tortoise, but it really doesn't look like my Texas tortoises. Let's see if @HermanniChris can shed any light on the subject.

Looks like a super old G. berlandieri to me. Kelly?
It doesn't look like either my deserts or my Texas torts.
StephanieRob: In case you didn't know, G. berlandieri would be a Texas tortoise.
Yes thanks, I did know that. I have a couple of them already - they just look different than this one.
Yeah, mine look different too. The only thing that looks the same is the deep 'V' notch right above the head.
yea that definitely look like a gophers berlandieri. i found a pic of some on google.
Yes, I agree - Texas tortoise! 
Happy Birthday!
Have some splendid fun.

Before I had a turtle
But yours isn't like my old turtle
Turtle's hands are almost like a fish
Or something like that
The fingers are glued to each other. So I think yours is a tortoise
