I'm concerned something wrong with the tortoise. I just got a sulcata from a friend of a friend who didn't want it anymore. She took really bad care of it, she thought it was a box turtle which was way off, kept it in a 10 gallon tank, it didn't have any shelter from the light, the lightbulb was just one you'd use for a lamp, and she didn't give the poor tortoise any water! She said she had it for three years and it's only the size of a baseball! Its mouth is dark around it I'm not sure if that's normal. Is there something wrong?? Will the size of the cage effect it? Any advice will be helpful.
