Hello
The reason I have joined this forum is that a couple of days ago I found a tortoise in my garden and I need some help in identifying it please, his (I assume due to tail length :S) picture is below. Looking at the markings on his shell it looks as if he's survived quite a gnawing from something.
I live in the UK and it's been pretty cold recently, when going into my garden I saw this little guy by chance just lying in the grass, he must have been there a while as the grass beneath him was dead and yellow/white. I've put him in a cold environment but inside and safe. I've contacted local vets to see if anyone has lost one and a pet rescue who may yet collect him.
Any help would be much appreciated, thank you.
