Hey guys, gals well some of you know I rescued a turtle awhile back, I didn't get before pictures of how gross he looked with is build up of at least 10 layers of rotten shell. And how bad he really smelled! But here he is, he's looking much better and eating a more wide variety of foods! He eats the occasional collard and dandelion pieces when I put them in his tank. These are of him outside in his sunning pool, he really likes it out there. Does him a lot of good also, still can't get him to stay out of the water though. Bad turtle, I guess old habbits die hard. Oh a little about him he is 12 years old and has been kept in water his WHOLE life, never had uv lighting and was probably fed some crazy foods other than turtle pellets. I really can't tell you for sure. He know knows when he see's me that either he's getting food YUMMI or its time to go outside. I'm not to sure if he likes motoring around in the grass, but its good for him so I make him do it anyway. And man let me tell you, he is strong! And this picture shows the holes he has in his shell right above his tail, looks almost like drill marks, I sure hope not, but I don't exactly know what he's been through. THey are getting better though, will take a lot of time. And he's still got a bit of fungus left on his feet, I scrub him with a soft toothbrush at least once a week and he really enjoys that Hope you like the pics

LOL yes I guess he is an old fart! LOL Andrew is telling me I don't feed him enough in the day. So I told him to feed him every day when he gets up then. He hasn't done it yet! Slacker!!!!
I do wonder what caused his werid shape in his shell though, its pointy on the top kind of like a helmet and not dome shaped. (old roman warrior helmet or something)
