Thanks very much. I will try to get more photos if possible.

The only (reasonable OK) mexican restaurant I go to is the El Chico. If that is it, it's still running

I have lived here only 14 years, and ( betraying my age ) the times, they are a-changin.

Thanks for the note. Unfortunately, we live in Riyadh Saudi Arabia, so I would not want to try and get a tortoise shipped in. Might die in customs.

Thanks for the link. We will have it handy to see what type it is when we go to the pet store again, this time to see the underside!

Shows how much I know! We took only the top side. Will go back to the pet store this weekend and look. I am just worried that it might be a sulcata and become a 45KG behemoth.

Thanks for the input. We did not see the enclosure. The staff picked it from some other place and brought it in a carrier for us to see. How do I check if it has been kept in dry conditions too long ?

We have not bought it yet. We saw it in in pet store, after going to like 8-10 stores and not finding any. The pet store guy was not too clear on the species so we need to research a bit first. Don't want to buy it and suddenly find yourself with a specie that will grow huge.

Hi There, We have not got any yet. My daughter is still in research phase. We are looking for one that would not grow too big. Ideally one that would not grow to more than 20-30cm ( or 8-12 inches) We are limited in terms of what we can get here, however.

Hi, Need a little help in identifying this tortoise species. We were looking at a tortoise in a pet shop but the shop keeper was not able to tell us what kind of tortoise this was. We need to know to estimate how big the tortoise will grow and what to feed it if we buy it. Thanks in advance...

Hi there, I am an indulgent dad in Riyadh and I have joined this forum because my daughter wanted to have a pet tortoise. Just need to learn a lot really quickly. Hope to learn from here.
