I'm Vanessa and ive recently aquired two Sulcata Tortoises. The first one, Franklin (right), wandered into my garage! My sister thought he was a lawn ornament... until he moved! I've been investigating on local lost and found pages with no luck. We happened to find the neighbor that we thought he belonged to. So... reluctlantly, i went to ask her if she was missing a tortoise. Yes she was missing one and she had a second one that she offered to me if i wanted. OF COURSE! So today i brought home Tara(left) from the next street over... in the trunk of my car (no worries.... it took about 30 seconds).
Question 1: they seem to be heavily Pyramided, can that be fixed or what? (i like the way it looks... they look like little dinosaurs) Ive studied online at a few different sites, they all say its diet/humidity. I live in central florida about 1/2 of a mile from the beach, so the humidity isnt a problem. I'm really wondering if its irreversable damage or if it will go away.
Question 2: they are very light but have dark eyes. Are these two considered "Ivory" Franklin is darker because he like to dig in the dirt!
HaHa... I uploaded a picture of Franklin's namesake accidentally
I will take any advise you guys can give me!!
I am totally committed to my Two Little Backyard Dinosaurs
