A couple years ago I took in a male desert tortoise (Gopherus agassizii) that had been hit by a car. The vet repaired his shell with Bondo. Since I didn't have a male CDT at that time, I opted to keep him, and named him Bondo, James Bondo. I kept him up the first winter, but allowed him to brumate this past winter. It went well, and he came out a couple days ago. I saw him sitting under the tree. Then yesterday when I noticed him sitting in the same place, I looked closer at him and noticed a few green blow flies flying around him. Yup, dead! Dang it, anyway!
