Hey, I'm pretty new to this but I was given a tortoise working with a customer 2 days ago, she had no idea what species he is so I just wondered if anyone could help me out so I can find the best diet for him

Pictures below, thank you!

I'm not real sure. Where are you located? It could possibly be a CDT (California Desert Tortoises). One that was not kept very well. @tortadise will probably be able to positivity ID it.

Interesting. Kinda hard to properly I'd it. Could you provide a full photo of the top and bottom of it. Kinda looks like a weird Greek. But does have some desert tortoise qualities.

I've moved the thread to the "Greek" section, however because of the large marginals I'm thinking it might possibly be a marginated. Let's give @HermanniChris a shout out. He's our 'go to' guy on the Testudos.
