Soo we now have Ruby our beardie and a NEW addition a Redfoot Tortoise named Wheezy He's from a local rescue and is only 7inches (shell length) he's a full grown adult and so should be 12-14inches but his shell is sooo badly pyramided that he doest seem to grow. (he's been with the rescue for 6yrs and hasn't grown and inch so guessing his a full grown adult age unknown He's such a handsome fella regardless and we just love him!! Heres a couple pics and a quick video
I'm seriously looking into a hermanns tortoise for my (Very loving and gentle) daughter. They truely are amazing animals. On a side note, my BD Myah, was a 'Second chance' dragon. I adopted her at a year old and she's cuddling me as a write this. I'm so thankful for my adopted adult.
Im also very thankful for my adopted adults and my poor tort is so deformed but I LOVE Him regardless! Thats awesome about getting your daughter a tort just make sure if she looses interest your ready to care for it for 50yrs or more

Wheezy does have a unique look. I don't know how anyone could could be so neglectful. It makes me so very frustrated. Thank goodness Wheezy is with you now. It must truely feel like heaven on earth I know my daughter will loose interest sooner rather then later, *sigh* but we've decided on the Hermanns for their smaller size and shorter life expectancy. I'm hoping that when she's grown and out on her own, she'll take the little one with her. Or atleast take her pet once I'm 6 feet under! LOL! :lol:
Hahaha well at least your prepared! Yes he was Severely neglected and is Very deformed as a result! Sad wish I knew who did this to him and where they got him from but we have no info from before he came to the rescue 6yrs ago!
