This little beauty is 6" long yellow geometric shell, astoundingly fast, rear legs look like miniature elephant legs, (columnar? ok). It's head was sort of pointy ...a beak? I was 7 when I found it. Both the tort and I were helpless and traumatized by the complete lack of adult help at the time. I still cry every time I think of it, which is several times a day now for the past 6 months (Yes, I'm crazy?). Anyway, let's solve Problem #1, What was it? An African Sulcata? That's my guess, but pictures I see vary from "definitely not that", to "Hmm, yeah, maybe so." Chief feature was it's speed. Surprised everyone. Does the color vary a lot, or is this the effect of shell conditioner? Please help. Thank you all so much. ("May tortoises rule planet earth.")
