Hello!
I'm a new tortoise owner, but I cannot figure out what species he/she is (my family is assuming female after doing some research but we can't be sure). My parents found a small tortoise outside while walking the dog two days ago and we are assuming she is an Egyptian tortoise. She's pretty active and we plan to keep her (we love her so much!) but we would greatly appreciate some help in identifying her species. We also made an appointment with an exotic vet but she won't get a check up until October 7th, so until then I'm trying to research all I can about tortoises. (Note: Her glass tank is only temporary until I can build her a tortoise table)
Thank you and I appreciate any help I can get!
