So a tortoise was surrendered to my work last week, and we couldn't figure out his species so I brought him home. He's 11 inches long so he can't be a Texas tortoise, though he looks a lot like it. His color is a lot different from a Sulcata and he lacks the armor. He's definitely not a red foot. Could anyone help me out? We just want to make sure we're giving him the proper habitat and food. Could he possibly be a hybrid?
He was probably neglected in his last home. He was said to live in a tank his whole life, and he only wants to eat strawberries and romaine lettuce, which are not that good for tortoises, I know. I try to sneak some collared greens & carrots & bell pepper into his mouth but he just wants his strawberries. Lol.
If anyone could help identify his species it would be greatly appreciated!
