Sulcata at the Iowa State fair

[100mph tortoise]

View attachment 11062View attachment 11061I and my family went to the iowa state fair last week. I took my kids to the petting zoo and we seen this sulcata tortoise in a steel animal corral the dimensions were like 8x10 under what looked like a big party tent with an ostrich,with no water and no sunlite,the fair went on for 10 days. I went to the fair two more times after that and he was always in the same corner and not very active,I about want to just pick him up and run with him.well here are some pictures.

Wow he is big and he probly stayed in that corner because of all the people and noise that it was surrounded by and it may have felt safer right there. Looks pretty good so they seem to take good care of it...

Ya I thought his shell was pretty round,but why is his shell like that in the back.

 

[dmarcus]

Probably had some shell issues when it was smaller and it looks like it has an old injury between the scutes but it could just be something it was born with..

He's still and awsome animal,no matter what it looks like.

I actually think thats the first temporary pen I've seen that actually looks up to the job for a big sully.
