    Ps, tortoise town has agreed to make good on the mistake on why I got a gulf coast when I was supposed to get an eastern box. So we shall see if they really do. They told me it’s odd because they never offered gulf coast boxies, but they saw the picture and agreed that is what she looks like...

    . I hope you can tell me if i hope someone who sees her on this sight can tell me more, and if she looks healthy? I was really hoping for the yellow markings. That’s part of the reason I picked this type of turtle. Or did tortoise town sell me a turtle that was different then I had asked for?

    he has sort of like a double shell that I thought was a sign of age or just really healthy. Down near the back of his shell. What is that all about ? He appears to have been living along the banks of the Hudson River.

    No. It was back in aug sept. That I got him across the road. I was so tempted to keep him for my female that I’ve had for two years that I bought from tortoise town. But he just looked so beautiful , happy and older that he belonged in the wild.
