While it absolutely chokes me to say this... Dan has keyed onto an important point.



Did you know the Chaco was originally described as a Sulcata?



The chaco is very similar to the young Sulcata, Desert tortoise, Texas tortoise... I've seen many of these and sometimes I can't tell the difference.



The point is... do you know you have a Chaco? Don't get angry. they are very difficult to distinguish between the group.
