Seen 2 or 3 in ten years. Seen lot more giant desert tortoises though (2 ft across the shell, easy). Thought it would be cool to have one for a pet, but I'm pretty sure it's illegal...

In the wash between badger springs and bloody basin. Bigger than the photo shows, he was bigger around than my calf, maybe 30" long. He hung around for a bit while I angled for photos then finally had enough and shot off into the grass.

Used to see them very frequently around Apache Junction....before everyone moved there. Can't remember the last time I saw one....late 80s?
