Tortoise Identification?

Thank you

Also check out the desert tortoise, the only tortoise that is native to California. Though Sacramento is a bit far North, there could be a chance of a released or escaped specimen.     Desert tortoises and Hermann's tortoises look very similar when they are hatchlings or still quite small.
