Russian Tortoise Vomiting

[Leopard Tortoise Lover 16199]

It's very hard to tell. Here's a desert tortoise that could very well be mistaken for a Russian at first glance. View attachment 48330 Although, yours definitely doesn't look like a Russian. It's too elongated and has a unique shell, yes like Yvonne said it could be a Chaco x desert

I guess we're going to have to agree to disagree. I have 8 desert tortoises, and this tortoise doesn't look like any of them.

Well, I hope we can found out soon, because now I'm really curious!

I've grown up in the Mojave desert all my life, and used to find and interact with the locals(gopherus agassizii) all the time, I have six of them that I've adopted, that to me looks like a gopherus agassizii. Possibly a gopherus morafkai, but either way, not a Russian. And should never be fed tropical or citrus fruits. Cacti apples are the best treat for them, if you can't get those tomatoes are a nice treat on occasion. I'd have him looked at immediately, vomiting can be serious. Hope he turns out ok.
