I rescued him. He is in good hands now. His deformity Is most likely a birth defect, started in incubation. He has a crooked spine but shows no signs of suffering. He eats well and is very friendly. He had multiple parasites but can only treat one at a time due to not wanting to overload him on...
Hi Tom..
i ended up rescuing him. He looks to be in horrible shape, but after a vet visit we think it's a birth defect. His spine is definatly crooked and he had some parasites b it n over all good health. We will have to have part of his scoop removed after next round of medicine for parasites...
I rescued him..after taking him to the vet it appears it's a birth defect. He had bad nu triton which didn't help but the previous owner said he only had him a few weeks. Idk if it's true but he's in my care now and is a very friendly little guy
I rescued him and we named him Lucky. We believe with the help of our vet he has a birth defect. Other than a few parasites and needing some of his scoop removed he is in good health, just a little Lumpy ;)
He did have a horrible nutrition. Alfalfa, apes and lettus. He was eating kale in the pict. I've had him now almost a month and he's showing huge improvement. His color is brighter and he's eating a balanced diet. We named him Lucky
Hello....
i rescued him. I did enend up paying for him $100. Was so worth it. We named him Lucky. He is an amazing creature. I took him to the vet and we are thinking birth defect. Other than some parasites he is in good health. His shell is compressed but he doesn't act like he is in any pain...
Here's a shot of part of his yard. I also have an area blocked off for my 4 other smaller Sullys. They are too small to roam freely. They hide too well. They are heated at night in a dogloo with a 100 watt emitter. Lucky also comes in and out of the house as he pleases. I'm in Arizona so doors...
He has free reign of the back yard and alot of fresh grass. He gets a handfull of fresh greens each day with calcium suppliment. He has fresh water in 2 places. His home is a 4'x4' wooden dog house heated with a 150 watt emmitter.
