MYSTERY TORTOISE!

[Sulcatifornia]

I can't tell what species this is from the picture. It's on CL right now, all they say is that it's a "female tortoise". Desert maybe? Anyone know?

 

[Terry Allan Hall]

Maybe a very shiny sulcata?

 

[mctlong]

Looks like desert to me.

 

[Yvonne G]

Its a desert tortoise and quite illegal to sell.

 

[Laura]

desert.. inform them before they get fined $$$$$$$

 

[ascott]

I agree...CDT....weird pink color on the back? Unless that is just the camera? And weird pyramiding.....do they say they are selling?

 

[GeoTerraTestudo]

Yes, I also think it's a Gopherus species, and probably the desert tortoise.

 

[Momof4]

I saw this too! I believe you need a permit for this one. I think I read that on the SDTTS website.
Did you see the really sad Russian w/ the overgrown beak? I cried.

trying to sell a CDT s a 10,000 dollar fine, and I heard from my tortoise club that CF&G monitors CL and other sites looking for people. It is pyramided though, must have been raised wrong, an at that size it is doubtful it will ever smooth out.
