Default Picture of disfigured shell due to high protein diet wanted

Hi all,

I am looking for a good clear picture of shell deformities caused by a high protein diet for use in an online advert for tortoise seeds, if anybody would be kind enough to let me use one of their pictures it would be very helpfull and I can post up a reciprocal link in the ad to a relevent tortoise forum if thats whos supplying the picture.

Thanks

I have a pic of one of my russians from the rear showing how a high protein diet of pellets has caused her to grow faster than her shell could keep up. It's left her rear very exposed and unable to retract into her shell. Very sad

I have one exactly the same. And i deformed ibera who is 9 years old only weighs 450g, to compair my 10 year old is 1800g, she was kept in a viv all her life and fed supermarket foo and no UVB. She is now in a table top enclosure, on weeds and lots of UVB. I have only had her for 2 weeks and she is doing great. Im being inundated with rehomers at the moment.
