I just inherited this girl from a co-worker.
Getting conflicting opinions on what species/type of tortoise this actually is.
Woman though it was North American and she said that it hibernates. They had it for 10 years.
Now that I have it at my house people are telling me it's an African Sulacata and they don't hibernate???
It's spring now so the hibernation issue isn't of paramount concern but I'm still confused nonetheless.
It seems a bit slow and sluggish with this bit of cool weather we are getting right now and it's not eating as much as last week when it was warmer. Just wondering if that is normal too.
Sorry... I obviously don't know much about these tortoises.
Any help is appreciated. Let me know if I need to upload any more pics to help identify her.
