Does this tort. look healthy

[slipperypete]

Hey everyone,
Im new here and i was thinking of purchasing this tortoise and was wanting your opinion on if he looks generally healthy for me to buy.?
thanks all feedback is wanted

there isn't much we could see... Check they eyes and nose, make sure they are clear with no mucus or anything.

I guess i could said this earlier but with the shell its not too bumpy cause i know over bumpy is bad but this isnt anything to worry about with what you can see.?
and any other tips for checking its health.?
thanks

if you can hold it.. it should feel solid.. not light... see it eat if possible.

Looks pretty healthy.. the pyramiding isn't that bad!

I mean there isn't much to see when its soaking :-/ there could have been watery eyes (lack of humidity) and or mucus or a watery look in the nose (A form of Respitory Infection). All the water would wash off so you wouldnt know :-/

If you can watch him eat...

Those were my thoughts. A picture can only tell you so much. He is alert in the water, a really sick animal would not look so alert. Nothing "pops out" as being wrong.

Hi slippery pete:

Welcome to the Tortoise Forum!!

What would you like us to call you?

...and may we know appx. where in the world you are?

Tortoise looks fine to me. A little bit of pyramiding us usually only cosmetic.
