Meet Maximilliano

Meet Maxi,

Picked him up yesterday from SV CTTC. This little 4" fellow was mauled by a dog and has some right hind scute damage. We are going to provide him with the best we can, and hope for the best!

Maxie is adorable! Poor thing. That dog thing happens too often, far as I'm concerned. I notice that he has a number on his carapace. I hope that doesn't mean that the SV chapter has so many sulcatas that they have to number them.

That's a Sulcata? Why is it in the DT threads?

 

[Yvonne G]

Yipes! Sorry about that!! I meant DESERT TORTOISES! I guess I have sulcata on the brain.

 

[Sudhira]

He is a CDT, not a sulcata. Gonna get permitted and the whole thang!

He came from being fostered in Palm Desert. He came with amazing notes from his foster mom, I know exactly when and what he was fed, his soak schedule, outdoor time, everything. It was fantastic!

Because it is a CDT

Welcome to our family, Maximilliano! Poor thing that he got toyed by a dog so badly. I think he's in good hand now

 

[Sudhira]

Thanks Mado,

I will post pictures of the damage, pretty sad. Hope it is only cosmetic!

Congratulations on your new addition!

Max has a very handsome shell, I hardly noticed the damaged scutes!

(It helped that you took the photo from his "good" side!)
