Here is a video of her that I took yesterday. I know my enclosure is crap. Keep in mind that it was something I threw together. I had no idea I'd be getting a new rescue. :/

Very nice Meg. That was very educational for me to watch. I don't know much about turtles and how they live. I think she is very cute though. Will she get much bigger then what she is now?

Spiny females get around 17" from what I have read. She will need a pond eventually, or a giant tank.

If you have a youtube account, Candy, feel free to subscribe! I have videos up of all the torts too.

I will have Ciambella until the first weekend in May, and then Heather from Serpent Sanctuary, down in Ft. Atkinson will be meeting me in Portage to pick her up.

In the mean time, I will be talking to her, keeping her warm, and offering foods that should help her remember she's a turtle. Kyryah has graciously offered to send me some snails for her to eat. I have rosys in with her now too.

She is a very shy girl. I will try to snap some pictures tomorrow for everyone.

She's way cool! What a bizarre injury though :/

Who were the people that had her, and how did they find you?
She seems sort of exotic to be owned by people that didn't know anything about her. I wonder where she came from?
