i've seen most of his post ...........i'd be interested in hearing what he's tried as far as finding a vet ? i know there is an aquarium in alexandria , i believe a marine research institute ? i understand they keep marine and freshwater turtles ......... there is a zoo and an aquarium in cairo , an aquarium in hurghada that does have pics of sea turtles ... those took me a minute to find on "trip advisor" ........... i would think they have medical care for their animals if for no other reason monetary ...... there are conservation groups in egypt trying to save the egyptian tortoise .......
