tortoise ID

Posted by Jessica on January 31, 2001 at 14:57:39:

I was wondering if you all might be able to help me identify a tortoise. I haven't gotten to scan her pic yet but I'll describe her and maybe someone will have an idea...
She's got a rather high domed carapice that drops off pretty steeply in the back. Her scutes are dark brown and black and mostly hexagonal. She has a little bit of yellow on her plastron, face, and legs. Her shell is.. for lack of a better word, scalloped slightly along the front and noticably on the back. The scales on her front legs are large and somewhat protruding but her back legs are mostly smooth small scales. Her eyes are dark and she has a bit of a beak and what may be a horn (??) kinda of on the front of her plastron.
If anyone has any ideas or more questions let me know!! Any leads you can give me will be greatly appreciated!!
Thanks, Jessica
