Cef, thanks for your concern about Matt. Matt has already suffered a Rat attack and it began to eat through his shell front to back like a can opener about 3 years ago. With help from Maggie here he got better. He has a 3/4" "relief" in his shell right in the middle now. He can raise his head like that one Gallop tort species.

We guard against intruders to his enclosure with mousetraps which are incredibly good at it without really hurting any of our friends. Animals like Racoons or opossums hate anything that can hurt their fingers since they make their living with them. So they quickly learned to stay away and even their young don't explore there ....they must be learning from mom. Rats are much harder to control so frankly I just delete them if they come around. I have zero remorse. They simply choose poorly.
