awe very cute! Sounds like you SAVED him/her. I am very new and she is very small but I would guess boy. I just like playing the guess the sex game so don't take my word on it... lol.

Congratulations! Oh and my hubby calls them turtles too...

My husband as well lol

Considering how she was fed and kept I think she looks fantastic.

Thanks everyone! I am hoping that she wasn't with those people for long. Being about 3 inches does that put her at around a year old? The petstore that they bought her from often has these little tortoises in it. This kind and another kind. I can't tell you what they are as the names are in latin and I am no where near learning all of that yet.
I was thinking of giving her a soak. I was also thinking of scrubbing the red stuff off of her with a toothbrush (new clean one of course). I think I will do that today. It is still all over her yuck.

Congrats on the new addition and thank you for saving her! Looks like she will be doing much better in her new, educated home Looking forward to updates!

A great thing you did, and what a beautiful girl you brought home.

what a beauty!

i'm dismayed but not shocked by the treatment of her former owners...
I'm so glad she's in your hands, now!

wee ones are still a little fragile, but it sounds like you've got a solid herp background.
