She’s looking so very good and happy! Im so glad she found her way to you!! Haven’t been on in a while but I thought of her the other day. How big is she now??
Thank you @Yvonne G for the contact effort! I’d been on vacation jun 11-18 and working all day everyday since i got back ive messaged @Moozillion about gimpy!
Thank you for the suggestions! I believe moozillion was one of the first ones to consider taking him in in the beginning. If she’d like to have him i would trust him to her.
Its not that i dont want to continue, its that a few things have come up in my life and im afraid he will end up...
Would anyone be interested in taking in a 6 month old stinkpot with 3 legs? I’d rescued him as a hatchling and posted a few threads about him on here. He is healthy and growing and im not sure how long i’ll be able to keep caring for him/her (no idea on the sex) Location: Denham Springs, LA.

I think thats what they'd really want to do, because yes, a bone infection is really scary. But I think the problem here is that he's so small, I dont know if they'd give him anesthetic or if he'd be able to survive it or what. I'm not sure if i'd have the extra money for a procedure either. Im...
Thank you! I suppose ill remove the swimming area from his tank then. And ill use paper towels over the flattened gravel. He doesnt seem to be spending tooo much time out of the water other than to bask so he will have to adapt for now until he gets better. Ill still see what the vet has to say.
hi again. Ive continued to keep Gimpy safe but im beginning to worry about his missing leg. Now that all of the dead tissue had fallen off and the wound is clean i can see that there is atleast a millimeter of his bone sticking straight ought. I just dont know what to do about it? Should i take...
