What kind of tortoise is this?

[Lilly Wageman]

Hello,
A friend of mine was recently given a tortoise but has no idea what kind it is. I don’t know either. She’s asking me advice but I have a desert tortoise and I don’t want to give any bad advice. Thanks in advance for any responses!

Hi,

It's a Leopard tortoise. Quite a beautiful one too might I add.

Thank you! That’s what I was guessing after googling but I wanted to be safe.

Hello and welcome.
Read up on the information. That Iceberg lettuce has almost no nutritional value.
