So, it was the middle of August when my friend let me come over to his house to pick out one his grandmas old tanks. His grandma was an animal fanatic that had tons of birds and reptiles but moved to a senior living home and they got rid of most of her pets. While I was looking for tanks and other things I came across a Eastern Hermann's tortoise sitting in a tank by his moms bed and I asked if he would ask his mom if I could have it. The next morning he called me and told me his mom said yes so, I went there immediately and took him home with me. Now, after a couple months of research and reading posts on this wonderful forum, I have learned that he wasn't cared for properly and I'm doing my best to ensure that my friends grandma didnt do any unintentional damage to my tortoises health but at least I know I'm taking MUCH Better care of him than my Friends mom would have and I love him much more than she ever could. I don't know how old he is nor the extent of the damage done to him due to improper care but if anyone has any ideas please let me know.
