The best source of info in this case would be the person from whom the lady bought the tortoise. If you could speak directly to him he is most likely the breeder and should know what he had (or maybe still does have) or if he is not the breeder, could probably provide the name of same if he acquired it as a baby.

For what it is worth, I have seen some very large babcocki males in years past. I would not dare venture a guess just based on this guy's size, and it is quite difficult/impossible to tell the subspecies apart once they reach a few inches in length and lose their juvenile spots.
