So a year ago i bought my daughter a tortoise at a farmers market 4th of July weekend! I was told it was a Sulcatta Tortoise. After doing some research on line I was a bit worried that the seller sold me water turtle food to feed my tortoise. So I took it to a local pet store which had been in the area for about 20 yrs or more an are very clean & organized. They too told me that It was a Sulcatta Tortoise. So for the last year I've thought I've been raising a Sulcatta Tortoise but have had a 3 toed Box Turtle! I believe her name was Norma was the woman who let me know about this. In doing research and looking a pictures on line I thought my tortoise looked funny. But he or she has adapted ( or at least to me) to the feeding and caring of a Sulcatta tortoise. With no problems that I could pick up. Norma let me know that he or she is deformed. Please help with all the info you can, Squirtt is what my daughter named him after the turtle from "Finding Nemo" is a part of our family and I want to nurse him back to health. Thank you all for your help in advance
Also because I was so excited to see my Sulcatta Tortoise grow big and old with us, if anybody has one for sale or adoption or even willing to give one away. I give you my word tht my family and I will take good care of he or she. I even built Squirt a bigger tank as he outgrew the previous one.
Here are a couple of pics.![ImageUploadedByTortForum1395013813.213130.jpg ImageUploadedByTortForum1395013813.213130.jpg](https://data.www.tortoiseforum.org/attachments/59/59857-c4888fcc3b88b22ef9baef05e68aa325.jpg)
