Camera isn't co-operating to upload the video of her walking but I'll try and upload it to Flickr later on tonight to see if that works. Just re-read the notes from vets and they say that the scapula & hips are set at an irregular angle, bone density is excellent and the eyes are also an irregular shape.
Different vets agreed that she has a genetic problem and shouldn't be bred from. |

Her eyes are a very odd shape for a hermanni too. |

So what you meant is although his shell looks normal his movement is restricted by his deformed legs/muscles??

I personally think her shell is deformed slightly too. The back is really highly domed, where as my hermanns all have a nice gradual slope. She is shaped like an apple and a number of people have said so as soon as they see her with no prompt.

Hi I don´t know, how your other torts looking, but this tort looks totally normal to me
But her walking..! Is it possible that she has some neurological illnes or something? Her walk looks like she is suffering by ataxia. That is a common symptom in neurological disorders. Have she moved on that way from the beginning, or has it been vorse lately? But she is gorgeous, absolutely
