So I encountered Benji in an unlikely place. A neighborhood surrounded with much pavement and not much desert suitable for desert tortoises for miles. He(assuming, opinions appreciated) had red all over his mouth which I thought was good at the time but after letting him get comfortable at home and I felt okay staring at him with fascination without possibly stressing him out I noticed he may have been hurt or been hurt on his horn type uper lip slightly damaging it. It was not too bad has since healed. But this gave me the idea a hawk bird of prey may have transported him from his home (attempted to devour him) but somehow allowed him to escape. His shell seems rather unscathed though so idk. Anyway I heard sulcata tortoises are popularly breeded here in Vegas and this neighborhood does have homes with backyard up to an acre in size. This being said I think it's possible someone's tortoises eggs hatched(considering breeders do not always keep their eggs I doors, idk) and one escaped. LONG STORY SHORT, I NEED TO KNOW MY JUVENILE TORTOISES BREED, ESTIMATED AGE AND GENDER. If you don't feel comfortable determining the 2nd two that's fine. THANK YOU! He has turned into the most outgoing, personality filled pet I've ever owned. He came to be the best pet ever rather quickly for a wild tortoise because of how young I found him or what, idk. I am so happy with the gift god gave me by putting this amazing creature before me and am dying to know more about my new life partner. Ty
