Hello everyone,

I am sorry for what I am going to bother all of you about. We (my daugter and I), have been wanting a tortise for a long time. We got one today. It was a spur of the moment...the price was excellent and very unexpected. But we have been looking for a year now because I did not want to pay $100+. That is what they usually go for around here...I got ours for $17.99!!! The bedding and light cost much more than the little girl!!! Her name is Dora.

Anyway, The clerk nor I have any idea what type of tortise it is. The creases in between her plates are a beige color and the top of the plates (highest part) are a dark brown/black color. She has 4 toes on the front and 3 on the back. If you need any other info. let me know because I don't know what else to provide. I have a picture that I can email...I did not add a link because I don't have a place to post the picture. If you have any idea what it is I would really appreciate an email, I want to provide it with the proper care...thanks in advance.

Gayle
