Tortoise on Sanibel Island?

Just watching a video showing the destruction on Sanibel Island from Hurrican Island and at around the 4:30 mark they show a tortoise on one of the roads. Sure doesn't look like any gopher tortoise I have ever seen! So any ideas on what that is?

A male sulcata. Somebody's pet.

The owner was found. He has three sulcatas and all made it. He lost his snakes though.

Might be some interesting finds on Sanibel and in the Ft. Myers area.

I know I found some monster black scorpions a few times there.
