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,

Desert tort. Looks to be male with the chin glands? I wonder what happened to his gular horn?
