Hey guys! Here to share fabulous news! Our baby Tucker was found late this afternoon, after having been gone for 4 weeks! He's all in one piece, just feels little lighter, legs little skinnier and very very dirty! But not a scratch on him! Walking and eating, took a long warm bath and could not get enough of his warm humid nursery. Tonight he went to sleep in the warmer hide. I think the cool temps is what bothered him the most. Me and the kids were crying tears of joy. We'll be doing lots of soaking and increased feedings for next couple of weeks. For now he really looks ok, clear open eyes, clear nostrils, outside of the mouth looks clean, will need to try catch him yawn to look inside, his shell looked ok at first glance. I had to leave my husband and kids with him, I was literally out the door when he had turned up. I'll take a good look at him tomorrow during his bath with good lighting and will try to gently brush some of the dirt from the grooves in his shell and check him for cracks and dings. I'll take and post pics of him and the spot where he was found tomorrow. Thank you ALL for your encouragement and support through those hard 4 weeks. You guys were giving me hope that fueled perseverance in my search effort and not giving up even after everyone else around me was ready to close this chapter and move on. Thank you❤️
