All species of gopher tortoises are protected. California Desert Tortoises, Gopherus agassizii, are are listed as threatened at the state and federal level. All species and subspecies of Gophers possessed in CA must be permitted by the Dept of F&G.
Worth? You cannot legally buy them or sell them, so I don't know how to answer you.
I'd say if you plan on selling one in CA, you'd better sell it for at least $1000 because I think that is how much the fine is for collecting from the wild, selling, or trading one.
