Wow look at that shell. Is he healthy and able to get around otherwise?

 

[Isa]

Awww he is adorable. Poor little one, do you know what happened to him before you rescued him?

 

[coreyc]

How long have you had him?

 

[Torty Mom]

Awe the poor guy! I am sure he is glad he is with you now! Does he have MBD?

 

[Yvonne G]

YEA for Laura!!! She's finally learned how to post pictures!

Poor little Rescue #1. But I really have a soft spot for the deformed and infirm!

 

[tortoises101]

Glad this sullie is with you! He looks much happier.

 

[Laura]

I only know he went thru several owners before I got him, and he lived with a desert tort that had pneumonia. He ate cat food and so took to the mazuri right away! When I first got him, he walked funny.. not very strong and there was some give to his shell.. I got him sept 07. No idea how old he is.
Very hardy, loves to eat, and has grown since I got him. I have other pics of him soon after he arrived, but they are on a different computer.. and on a shutterfly account.. somewhere on this thread there are some..
The 'towers' are less severe and more space in between them.
I got my second one in Oct 07, he lived in the house, ate cat food and rarely got outside. he was 4. he has double in size. the other two came May of 08. Forclosure. 50/25 pounds at the time..
WOuld love more.. but maybe not..

 

[Tom]

Wow. That's the worst I've seen. Glad he's with you now.

 

[Laura]

This is what he looked like when he arrived.

Wow, George is pretty talented to be able to toss all that dirt up on his back with that shovel!

 

[Neal]

Those are some bad pyramids, glad they're all under better husbandry now.

 

[Laura]

rocky and george came together..
george was digging to china, i blocked the hole and put the shovel there to give a size comparison.

I am possesed... HA!

When I saw the picture all I could think of was the song by jimmy I think called " wasted away in margaritaville, looking for my last shaker of salt"
