Have you tried googling your state and tortoise to see what's found in your area? It is probably a wild turtle.Amelia Ameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17296224743117560163noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4415514258720771229.post-58349716263219573792010-05-26T10:50:02.050-07:002010-05-26T10:50:02.050-07:00It's difficult to tell from the photo.

Or it could be a desert tortoise, which is more likely, I am not familiar with that species.<br /><br />Contact these guys, as they are in your area, for an id.<br />www.tortoise.org they have an id page http://www.tortoise.org/admin/help.html <br /><br />Good luckUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07966661291015906639noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4415514258720771229.post-88220811000574572512010-05-26T06:23:23.716-07:002010-05-26T06:23:23.716-07:00How lucky for both you and the tortoise!

If you take one from the front (of it's face, I suppose) it would be easier to identify. Also, you could go to a site called turtletimes.com, click the forum link at the top of the page, and post there, with pictures, in their identification thread. That would guarantee a quick and accurate response. Also, if you identify it and decide to keep it, you can find all the information for caring for it. Hope this helps!<br /><br />KristyKristyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00649780371206074856noreply@blogger.com
