So life's been busy just had my first son and I'm working hard to deal with life and still have time for my zoo. Any hooo Bertha is a actually a MAN tortoise lol so "his" name is now Frank and he is still running the show and growing huge cannot wait to teach my son about him and have them grow together lol. Anyway I have a before I "rescued" and after of my Frank. He is now somewhere in-between 10-15lb he was 6lb tops when I got him.ImageUploadedByTortoise Forum1411540183.889286.jpgImageUploadedByTortoise Forum1411540198.538826.jpg

He is like 4 I think not sure really I've had him for over 2 years we guessed he was about 1-2 when we got him. So 4? I couldn't tell because of how bad he was and he grew slower than most sullys due to his deformities.

He has a heated dog house or tortoise house and a very large weed garden that he runs. He also has a very diverse diet. and of corse I love him. Even when he chases me.

Wow. That was one bad case of pyramiding/MBD.

I know it's bad but at the same time I think it's kinda cool because he is a one of a kind Mohawk tortoise now that he's healthy it's no more than a funny looking hairdo
