I've had this Tortoise since I was 7. He was given to me on my birthday and was said he hatched a few days before such time. This tortoise is named Jesse. I don't know the gender but I can say that it has grown in bad conditions considering a lot of his life he's been regularly fed Romaine lettuce and not really anything nutritional. When I started doing more research it was too late as the bumps on his back shows how malnourished he was.
He also lived in a little habitat and I feel like that could've affected his size a lot considering I am now 20 meaning Jesse has to be about 13 and he is about 6" height and 10" width. Seems to be blind in one eye and I recommend Veterinarian care. He's been through a lot and most of the time I couldn't necessarily help since I was a child and my parents weren't very educated about tortoise and there types of care. Please, I'd like to find someone who can help him live a happier and longer life.![IMG_0244[1].JPG](https://data.www.tortoiseforum.org/attachments/159/159133-08550be65c3b440dbf4cf2118f8f8e44.jpg "IMG_0244[1].JPG")
