RE: Hello from Ohio

Unfortunately I lost them in a housefire about a year ago but they have been replaced by 6 little hatchlings and 2 "rescues". So you now have the seniors. You say you got yours from the Toledo Zoo, I've heard they have Burmese Mtns there. I also have gotten one those characters (he reminds me personality wish of a RF).

My very first tortoise was Mi-Shell, a California desert tortoise. I took her in about 35 years ago. I still have her, but she is very sick with an infection (abcess) on her head that has a bad strain of bacteria that is almost impossible to kill. For the past three years we've been trying everything we can but we can't get rid of it. Now it has gone into the bone. I'm afraid I'm going to lose her.

Yvonne that must be really devastating. Hard to do everything you can and to still be seeming to lose the battle. 35 years seems like a long time, but I know to you it's been way too short a time. Maybe some how things will turn around. *hugs*
