RESCUED SULCATA

[ALDABRAMAN]

I received a call yesterday from a guy that someone had found another sulcata loose in the woods. He asked if we would find it a new home and sent these pictures. I am thinking it is a male and has shell fungus and some shell rot that needs treated. Any opinions welcome!

WOW. This is rough.........Poor thing. I'm glad that you taking him/her in.

Oh man...it looks like s/he's in a bit of trouble!! It's a good thing you got that phone call! What's with all these wandering sulcatas?!?!? People....

 

[ALDABRAMAN]

I think most of it is cosmetic and fungus, however unsure until we actually take custody and have a good look!
