Hi all,
My Parker escaped my yard in May, the day after Mother’s Day. I have had flyers and ads everywhere, notified all the proper people. Yesterday, I thought he was found. Someone found a tort of similar size, def DT, but his shell is smooth. Parker had mild pyramiding. Is it possible for pyramids to be ‘worn down’ at all? They are so close in size, it’s incredible coincidence this was found in my smaller town of Prescott in a developed area about a mile and half away from my house. Are there any other ways to differentiate two torts of same species and size. This one looks a tad smaller than Parker, as well, but only slight.. But, after 10 weeks, it is hard. I didn’t think pyramiding could go away. @Yvonne G @Tom
I will try to post comparison pics. Also, this tort seems tame, but I tried to soak it right away after the girls who found him gave to me, he wanted nothing to do with soak. Parker loved daily soaks. I also need to try to identify see, but need to look up how as it’s been a while. Parker is 8 yo.
