I was hoping someone could identify the species for me.

I usually like to try and answer these before danny does to see if I am right, but in this cae it looks like sulcata to me.

Sulcata with some pyrimiding happening and long toenails..
Is it a rescue ? how long have you had it?
Diet and enclosure info?

 

[lovenitt01]

That's what I thought but he wont grow he's 2 and only 3 1/2 inches long he has a uvb light Heat lamp eats grass flowers hay once in a while fruit not sure what's
wrong thought I might have a different species

Something isnt right.. diet, heat, no sun, no calcium or just failure to Thrive..
Try some Spring Mix salad that you can get at any grocery store. He is too small to eat hay.
Does he ever get outside to get real sunshine?
If you can post pics of his enclosure, we might be able to tell you more.

I will post pics of his enclosure he goes outside everyday for 10 hours I put repti cal powder on his food and I already offer him spring mix every night a good hand ful he eats everything offered to him.
