Hello!
I posted a little while ago about a lady who was letting her tort swim in the bathtub. Well, I got in contact with her because she was trying to find him a good home before they move next week. After chatting with her a bit she decided to let me have him and I'm very excited!!
His shell is really smooth and I was thinking that perhaps there's a chance he's captive bred. I don't have any history about where he came from or anything. They had him for ~6 months and were given him as a gift by an elderly neighbor. Like I said though, his shell is smoother than both of mine that I already have and I'd like to get your opinions about whether he's WC or CB. Odds are that he's WC, but it'd be cool if he wasn't.
These aren't the best pictures, so I'll take some new ones that really show his shell and the shape he's in a lot better soon. He's very friendly, doesn't pull into his shell when you touch him, lets you scratch his chin, and seems to be really healthy (I hear swimming is GREAT exercise...). Oh, and he loves his dandelion flowers!
