Rescued a sulcata

[starjess81]

Yesterday I rescued a about 15-20 pound sulcate tortoise. I am learning about the breed, I have a greek and russian so I am familar with torts....She is pretty shy, I think due to stress. She is warm and in a quite place. Hopefully she will be ok in a few days. Her name is Tank

Tank update.....after a few days of her observing us and me getting her on a soaking and feeding routine. She has really come around! I can actually hand feed her and she will let me pet her head! I live in KY and it was almost 70 degrees outside yesterday so I opened my door to let the light in and she walked right over to the door and wanted out. So we spent about 45 minutes outside grazing and exploring! She has really come out of her shell!
