I have no idea what kind this is! My Mom found it on the street and we brought it home becuase we had no clue if it was native or not.
She/He is about 6 in from head to tail and I assume it is a couple years old. We didnt know if it was someones pet or a wild one.
I think if it is wild it could be a gopher tortoise or something else? any help?
Thank you for reading this! (seriously... I really need some fast answers.

It sure does look like a gopher tortoise, I think your assumption was spot on. Are you thinking this is somebodies pet?

I would just let him go is you suspect him being a wild animal. I believe it's illegal in most places to keep wild animals "hostage." :roll:

Dont let it go unless you live in the area they live in, then how can you be sure its not captive breed?

Call fish and game if you really want to.. or ask around?

Where do you live?

There is a rescue in Sacramento and fresno and other places..you might ask them if some one reported him missing

Where do you live? It looks to me like a Desert or Gopher tortoise, and it wouldn't be far-fetched at all to suggest it's wild and not just an escaped captive... Gophers are native to the southeast; the various Desert tortoises are native to the southwest. If you're concerned about it not being a native tortoise, the best alternative to simply releasing it would be to find a wildlife rehabilitation center to surrender it to.

Good luck!

Mirage came out of brumation on April 26. He was doing great. On May 2 he started acting funny. We just redid his tank, and he keeps going into one of his hides. He just lays there. He shows no intrest in food. HELP!
