Some of my wifes co workers were taking a walk and found this dude walking down the street (in an industrial area) so they grabbed him and brought her to my wife knowing I was a reptile guy. It looks like a female and I am not sure but think this is a California desert tortoise which is not from our area but much further inland in the desert. If anyone else knows what other species she may be please post your thoughts. I am only familiar with sulcatas and leopard tortoises. I will be seeing my vet soon to check for parasites but otherwise asides from a really scratched and dinged up shell and belly, she seems to be fine. She definately has been traveling alot on pavement from her condition and I think she will enjoy living on the grass in my back yard . Thanks in advance for any info on our new addition.
