Well the pictures didn't load for me, maybe the phone, but I am happy you rescued most of them, and your last sentence really got me!! Makes me proud/happy to (sorta) know you!
@Yellow Turtle. Roo has ever so slight pyramiding , she actually came to me because her owner (who loved her so much) lived in a northern state and Roo wasnt outside a lot, she lived indoors in an aquarium that was too small. When her owner first got her she was told it was a box turtle and would only get as big as her tank :-( And thinking Roo was a box turtle raised her as one so she also had diet issues. When she realized her turtle was a Sulcata tortoise and all the care she needed she realized she couldn't provide that and needed a new home for her. Since getting Roo she has grown 1 1/2inches and put on 3 pounds and is my sun worshipper ;-)
