meet my new baby

[hlester22]

So I got a new girl redfoot off of craigs list today. Shes been on there a while but they marked her down to $50 and my husband finally said yes. I haven't measured her yet but they said she is about 9 inches. She has a little shell rot but nothing major. One of her nostrils is malformed but she seems to do fine with it. She was being kept with a 30 pound sulcata and was very dry. When I got her home i soaked her and she drank for like a good 20 minutes strait. Shes already eaten and put herself to bed. Ill get more pics of her tomorrow but here are a few for now.

We are calling her oogway for now but that may change.

As promised here are some more pictures.

Here you can see the shell rot. So is she really a she?

Tried to get a shot of her malformed nostril.

Outside

Ive never seen a tort drink so much. When I first got her last night her skin was ashy and white. She had bubbles in her eyes and they were visably sunken into her skull. Today she is looking much better.
