Last night I got a call from a local pet store that often calls me when they get a sick turtle in or one who someone is "done" with. I went to go get this girl and the owner had her in a small tank with dry cat kibble piled in the corner. They just kept putting dry kibble on the top and there was a pile of moldy kibble underneath. Her toenails are the longest I HAVE EVER SEEN! She was covered in white glue like material from her bedding. Needless to say, she got a couple baths and a "scrub a dub", as well as a a nail trim and some good food. I will tackle her beak tomorrow when she settles a bit.
Question: From her coloring I assume her to be a three toe. But yet, she is huge. I mean well over 7 inches long. Her neck is super long. She has the brown eyes and flat bottom shell. I just wonder if she could be mixed with something else? Three toes tend to be smaller... much smaller. She dwarfs mine. Any ideas?
And no, she is not currently with any of mine. Although, she does love to cuddle and is very, very sweet. But, how could they NOT notice those claws???? I was appalled!
