Hello again everyone!
I have adopted an African spur thighed tortoise from an elderly lady who is thinning out her "heard" of tortoises. The question I have is could he be a "mixed" breed? She is keeping her California Desert Tortoises and her African Spur Thighed tortoises in the same, very large I might add enclosure. I know for a fact they all successfully breed because if the sheer number of hatchlings and animals she has on the property. Thank you very much for any information you have. I have also enclosed pictures of him for you to view. Oh, one more thing... Is an African spur thighed tortoise and a Sulcata the same? Thanks again!
*By the way I'm asking about the one on the right. He is a 6 month old male. The one on the left is a Sulcata hatchling for sure. It is 2 months old and of unknown sex.
