Hi everyone.

I finally have the opportunity to obtain a female cherryhead to go with my male cherryhead and 6 northern redfoots. Only thing is the cherryhead has lived with this yellow foot all its life, and the lady won't let them go seperately. This yellow foot is 11yrs old and is 11" long. 5yrs ago it had a bad run in with a dog. Please look at the photo and give me your opinion. The lady owner has had her checked out by a vet and was ok'd. I was concerned if shell rot could play a part later in life. Would she need any extra care and attention, not that this is a problem, I will take care of the poor girl. I would appreciate anyone's thoughts. 1 more thing, is she a girl?

Thank you.

Craig

Wow, that tortoise looks to be in rough shape. Looks like lots of old dog damage, and old shell rot. But as long as it's health checks out, it won't win any beauty contests though. :)

A photo of her from the side, owner says the injury doesn't seem to bother her.
