I just found out Ramsay is an African Sulcata, and I was just wondering if that means he's a desert tortoise...?

If so, then you DO have a desert tortoise. The animal in that photo is NOT a sulcata.

If so, then the animal in that photo is NOT a sulcata. I don't know who told you that it was, and I don't enough experience with other species to definitively say it is a desert tortoise, but I can tell you it is not a baby sulcata.
