Hi!
I found this tortoise in my backyard the other day and would love to know what species it is. Also any guesses on the age, gender or tips on taking care of it would be greatly appreciated.
Chances are pretty good that this is someone's escaped pet. Put up fliers on the utility poles in your neighborhood and go door-to-door asking if anyone has lost a tortoise.
I'm not good at I.D.ing the greeks and hermanns tortoises, but it's one or the other. We can send a shout-out to @HermanniChris He's very good at it and can tell you for sure what you have.
That is a pretty little thing. I hope you can find the owner soon or you can learn how to take care of this pretty little one. Good lucky and best wishes.
A beautiful old Greek!
It could have escaped a long time ago and wandered quite far, did you contact the police or shelters (or whoever is responsible for lost pets in your country)?
