: My only concern is that he seems lightweight...does anyone have any insight to this? I am comparing him to my redfoot, who is definatly heavier. My last one was very under weight as well....any thoughts?
: thanks, kelly>>>>

As they believed he was a box turtle I expect that the diet was incorrect which could have led to digestive disorders and looses stools.
I would quarantine the tortoise, have him checked by your vet, including a stool float to check for internal parasites.
Make sure that he is hydrated and get him on the correct diet.
Good luck with your new tort.
Terry.
