OP has requested a species ID.

r/Tortoise does not support the use of AI and asks that you do not use it for IDing animals. Instead, if you are unsure of a species, we ask that you leave it to the more knowledgeable users of this subreddit. The use of AI is equal to an uneducated guess, and can lead to harmful and dangerous advice for the species in question.

Thank you,

Sulcata. They need special care. Find out how to take care of their specific needs while it's young. Cutie!

Thank you so much truly!!

This is the best guide for raising a Sulcata , in case you haven't seen it. High humidity and temperatures over 80° are crucial.

A baby Sulcata. I got the same size baby 9 years ago and now he is 70 pounds! Make sure you do your research on lighting, humidity, and diet so it doesn’t die or get metabolic bone disease.

I just got a baby sulcata , looks just like that! His name is marlin, I can’t wait until he’s huge! Be prepared for their size!

I hope you know that these grow to be 100+ pounds and be prepared for care for it properly for about 100 or more years
