I really have no idea. I know I foster a desert tort....(from legal sources)here in AZ. (It is illegal to own them, however the powers that be can foster 1 to you). Anyways....they say you really have to keep an eye on them in case they flip over in the sun as they could die.

I had an old nature show about desert animals on VHS years and years back as a kid.
It showed two male tortoises battling over a female, with one male eventually being overturned by the other.
The loser eventually righted himself.
