Hi Ernie, it is a African Spurred Tortoise / Sulcata. Beautiful looking too! What country was this? -
Sorry for the delay, checked a few times after post but no replies so stopped checking. I saw him/her on a country road in Tehama County outside of Paskenta, CA. near my home. By near l mean about 7 miles from my place. Cattle country, gravel toad, big ranches, 1000 acres plus. I was blown away when l saw him. Biggest tortoise l've ever seen. Don't know if it's a runaway or some body dumped him. I went out the next day to try and find him but no luck. Thanks for the replyComment

Yeah idk who in their right mind lets them walk around their house. If you’re in an outdoor friendly climate, leave it there with a suitable setup. If you can only for part of the year or not at all, ensure the actual enclosure is big enough & suitable for your tort. It’s simple lol. A tortoise free roaming around someone’s kitchen is the dumbest shit I keep seeing on here & it’s so common.
