What tortoise?

[NiinaHawk]

I need help, can anyone say what tortoise this is?
it is big and from peru.

Though I have zero direct experience with South American tortoises this appears to be a yellow foot that received poor growing up.

Thank you for your answer. I think that too. But shell look bad. Is yellow foot forest tortoise? I mean not terrapin?

A very warm welcome to the forum!

Sorry, don't know what species your tort is. BUT as far as the shell is concerned, well that is "pyramiding" which is caused by lack of humidity.

Thank you. I have 6 tortoises and this one is suppost to come live with us, cause owner could keep her/him. That's why i wanna be sure what species it is. I have other rescue tortoises too, but this one will be really big. If i get it here.

not only pyramided; the poor thing's shell is caved in on top.

I hope you get it and give it a much better life than it seems to have had so far.

It's either a redfoot or a yellowfoot. A picture of the top of its head will help people be sure, though their care is quite similar. The poor baby looks like a mess. It probably has MBD, I hope you can get him healthy, though his shell will never be pretty he can still have a full life.

Here is a picture of a sulcata that I adopted. The previous owner had no care experience in regard to tortoises.

It looks like a Redfoot to me, but I don't keep them. It's seriously pyramided and has MBD, that's obvious. MBD is painful.
Seems to me what you are doing is paying someone else's vet bill; They screwed that tort up bad, and they need to pay for it. Just my opinion.
