Hi Everyone,
I'm from NH and recently rescued a Russian Tortoise from Cragislist. So I'm reading and studying and hoping that I'm making his life better any way I can. Thanks to this site, I've made quite a few changes that I think have improved things for him.
I've attached a few pictures, and as you can see, I think his beak and nails are quite overgrown. His shell has an odd curl to it and I wonder how much of that is MBD due to his poor diet and housing. After that holidays, I will be taking him to the reptile veterinarian for a full check up.
I'm so glad I found this site and look forward to learning so much more. Thanks in advance for any advice or suggestions.
Happy Holidays
