Hello,
So this is my second post here. In my first I was inquiring on the dark spots atop my tortoises shell. I stated in the post that he was a sulcata because the animal shelter we adopted him from 3 months ago told me that’s what he was. Being a first time tort owner I didn’t question it. Til now. I received more response to the fact that he was not a sulcata rather than my original question (which did get answered).
So now I’m very curious to know just what kind of tortoise our guy Taco is. I want to make sure that we are accommodating him according to his breed specific needs. This is my primary reason for asking. I truly could care less if he is a very rare breed or a mixed “mutt” of sorts. He is a joy and pleasure to have around and we are so glad he became part of our family either way.
Thank you in advance for any feedback and insight.
Ps I currently have a call/ email in to our local turtle and tortoise society but wanted a broader range of opinions.
