I recently found a tortoise in my garage, I think it's a male because of the tail and concaved belly, since then I had someone give me what they thought was a female because of flat belly. I think I have 2 male tortoises. If I send pics can u tell me is I have a tortoise or turtle and if it is male or female? And maybe even what kind of tortoise.

You can't care for it properly if you don't know EXACTLY what it is. Please post pictures so we can help you, and the animal...

I was so bummed when there was no picture. I like to try and guess before I read what the experts say. I am getting better :)

Hi Bucudinero7:

Welcome to the forum!!

May we know your name and where you are?

I hope you know that you got us all excited! We love to play the guessing game.

(Is your username meant to imply that you have lots of money? beaucoup dinero )

I always wonder if posts like this one are phishing. Bucudinero7 made this one post, then never came back and visited the Forum ever again.

Lets play the guessing game just for fun without any more clues from beaucoup dinero...

Hm-m-m-m... let's see

He's in Northern California (my mental telepathy tells me this)...

He found a turtle/tortoise in his garage...

The animal has a concave belly and a male tail...

Someone gave him another "tortoise" with a flat belly...

Ok, concave might mean desert, Texas, redfoot, but I'm going with male desert tortoise.

The new tortoise has a flat belly but he thinks its male, so I'm going with male Russian.

Let's all take a guess and in the meantime, I'm going to send Beau Coup Dinero an email and see if we can't get a picture.

without pictures it is all pointless. It is like putting gas into a car you already crashed into a tree,what's the point.
