One of my assistants found this little guy in our parking lot.
We have a lot of gophers on our ranch, but I don't know what juveniles look like. Box? Gopher? Other?

Quoted: Thanks. My son wants to keep him, but I'm not fond of salmonella. Quoted: Quoted: Juvenile Gopher Tortoise. I have an adult living in my back yard and several others in the fields around me. I usually come across one or two babies like that a year. Cute little buggers. Thanks. My son wants to keep him, but I'm not fond of salmonella. good thing. I believe they are federally protected.  |

I know.
I was involved in relocation projects for development mitigation during the real estate run-up. In any event, I don't want pets that will still be middle age when I die. |

I have seen them and dont mess with them. With my luck FWC is hanging out with binos on the lookout. I can see it now: Tiny electronic fake turtle being staked out by FWC (US Fish and Wildlife more likely) sort of like they have the fake deer they set out in the woods to stake out and catch the yahoos out cranking off rounds at it out of season or in a no-hunt area.
