View attachment 34485 I believe this is a desert tortoise. This person has contacted me about this tort. It has some pyramiding. I think it is a younger person who has it. She has said she thinks it is 2 years old...anyone interested? I dont have a price yet. I will post as soon as i find out...

Looks like a poorly raised DT or possibly a Texas tortoise. I can't tell for sure from that one pic, but it looks to be in the Gopherus genus to me. That being the case, it will be illegal to sell it. It can only be given away, and the new owner will need to get a permit for it too.

Because of the color, I'm going to say Gopherus berlandieri. The Gopherus agazzisii and morafkai have a bit more brown in their carapace. It really doesn't matter, because it is illegal to sell any of them. If they get caught, the fine is $10,000.
