New Tort!

[omgdoubletacos]

For those of you who didn't read my other thread, I have adopted a new tort. It was found as a "stray" by someone who didn't know much about them. I'm still unsure if its a boy or girl. I will post some pictures later on after he/she settles down a bit. I will also get measurements and a weight. He's really friendly and was very calm on the ride home. He loves for his head to be rubbed and responds when you talk to him.

I will post plenty of pictures after he settles down a bit. But here are a couple that the guy who found him took.

Well, I couldn't get its tail to untuck to save my life. Those are some strong muscles! I got a picture of its belly and I'm not sure if you can see it but the belly is convex.

Sorry I meant concave. XD

It looks to be a male to me. He looks like he is in pretty good shape for being a "stray"

Yea. Thats what I thought too. The pyramiding is about 3/8 in high. His skin was a little dry, but nothing a few soaks can't fix. I'll grab a measurement and weight a little later today.

Looking good! Can't wait for him to get all relaxed so we can see some cute face shots.

Can't wait to see him comfortable and walking around! Love rescue stories!

What is with the stray Tortoises? Mine was found on the side of the road. At least yours has his face intact. Poor Schlomo is a circus freak. But I love him the same.

Awww thats so sad Sandy. But Bowser is just fine. Dehydrated a little and his skin was dry, but good in every other way.
I'll try to get some good pictures of him this weekend along with a weight and measurement. I was going to do that today, but by the time I got home he was getting settled for the night. XD
