In Reply to: Anyone seen this poor tortoise???? posted by tortuga on April 23, 2003 at 10:45:50:
I think its inproper diet that made them grow like that. I just cant see how it would hatch out of its shell like that! And that guy is crazy if he thinks anyone will buy if for that price. He probibly will have to just give it to a rescue. Could you emagine spending $8,000 on a tort that will probibly die anyway? Not me
:That is the most deformed galop I have seen. From my own observations it seems that deformities are more prevalent than in other species. A gentleman has 4 galops in my area and 1 of them is blind in one eye, one has a deformed shell, and another has what looks like the start of a deformity. Two of the tortoises started out as healthy hatchlings with no apparent deformity and then the deformity became visible as the tortoise grew.
:Anyone have any thoughts as to why this seemingly occurs more often with galops?
:Thanks
:Tortuga
