It's too bad this picture is blurry. She's got the prettiest green eyes ever. She's rescue #5 this year, Tommie, and I neglected to weigh her, but she's huge. Her owners got her from a neighbor 21 years ago as a hatchling, but they're moving out of state and can't keep her. She's a beauty:

Those eyes are always wicked mean looking to me. Too bad they couldn't keep her after all those years.

She is a beauty for sure. It must be heart breaking to give her up after 20 some years.

You are blessed to have her, She is in a good hand.

21 years raised in captivity and from what I can see, she looks smooth :)
Those eyes do look pretty, too!

(any chance you saw my email on sexing CDT)

Me too. I've always loved those ones with the gray eyes.

She looks amazing, eyes look fluorescent.
Would love to see better photos, and her dimensions.

Here she is this a.m. sitting in the sun. I had to keep thumping her to make her keep her eyes open. She was thoroughly enjoying the sun up against the fence:

Outside the sun sort of washes out the vivid green color of her eyes:

Those are the kind of eyes that are so captivating. I can just stare at them forever. Very beautiful!
