Looks like a Salcata Desert Tortoise. They're the 2nd largest tortoise in the world, so they don't make great pets for people who don't live in warm climates and have big backyards. But they're often sold as pets when they're little babies about the size of a silver dollar. Then they grow up and turn into nightmares for the owners. They'll plow straight through drywall walls too, and even cheap apartment doors.
