Now continuing on with our little rescue lady, who had created quite a stir, is doing better than I expected. She's active, eating, basking, wallowing, climbing. Very curious.
I took photos today outside. She got a bath and a chance to inspect the side yard.
I wanted to show more photos of her, and get some more info on this species. Seems these are very uncommon and needing some conservation effort. Can we talk about that? I know they are hunted in Africa, and don't seem to be a common pet tort here. I'm very curious and want to learn more. I spoke briefly today with the owner of Slow Movers Resort and Rescue and they are open to discussing placing her in the right "conservancy", but we all need to learn more. For now, she is not available and needs time to gain weight and relax, plus get her thru 90 day quarantine.
