She's lovely Claire, she doesn't look like she's done badly on her old diet!

she is lovely, she has a beautiful shell doesnt she. I guess it goes to show, living in a viv AND having a bad diet looks good on some tortoises! ai have seen some horsefiled raised on weeds that are lumpy as heck. she is a stunner.

only thing im concerned about is she hisses alot i dont know if its a RI
or change in temps from her being in a viv to being upt straignt into a table with not as much heat,she diddnt seam happy when we put her in,shes having a bath now will weigh her soon and update u with measurments and weight
