Rescue!

A friend of the family came by today and dropped off this new present. I dont know anything about them but they figured I would know how to take care of it. Any help would be good. I am only hanging on to it until I can find a home for it.

It seems like nobody knows. Is it some rare tort or what?! Lol

Oh shoot, I thought I mentioned in PM that it looked like an agazizi, the Ca. Desert Tortoise. My guess is someone had it in their yard and it got out, was found by someone else and now you're in charge.

Usually they're darker, but I've seen light ones like that that have been captive raised.

Naw you mentioned it in your PM, I googled it and didnt find anything. A friend of the family knows someone who was keeping it as a pet and they were moving to NY and couldnt take it and it ended up with us.

Definitely a Desert tortoise, that looks like a Mojave Max (Nevada tortoise mascot) if I've ever seen one. Still young, maybe male I can't tell how long or curved its horn is. But they are endangered and require a permit to keep. You can contact any of the Desert tortoise rescues / websites they do recoveries. Or you can fill out an application to keep it. But they do require home inspections.

wow i like the shell.

I like him/her!
